Using that logic noone's word means anything.-I'd venture to say the only thing that makes the Polanski issue offensive to you is the hetero nature of it and you have no identity to defend in the issue, and of course a tinge of jealousy.

I'll keep my kudos, thanks. Whoopi thinks drugging and vaginally & anally raping a 13-year-old girl while she cries, says “no” and asks repeatedly for her asthma medication isn’t “rape-rape”.

As far as that other lady beth is concerned. Who cares if she's gay for whatever reason she has. Why is it such a defining term for you. Why do you have a problems with gays... They have a right to do what they want, and have whatever ideology they want. LIVE AND LET LIVE.peace Out Actual my comment was regarding Whoopi whom has the balls to be hetero-ideological instead of having to do what is PC. As far as that other lady beth is concerned.

Many gays are conservatives who get alienated and put down by those whom dare to have a different opinion. Meanwhile, others tow their party line for acceptance and financial benefits. Kudos to Whoopi for being independent contrasting mainstream gay, black and left wing POV... and risking alienation and being called a sell-out.

College doesn't cure ignorance and arrogance. Why she's just an authority on everything, isn't she? How can people be such morons and not recognize it??? The View is now a joke and very boring.

Despite being a total ignorant bird, she actually tries to come up with some logical, albeit highly superficial, explanation for this sudden rise of Jill & Nikki gayness instead of blaming it on liberal media and/or the devil (same thing). If I grew up in an uber patriarchal and male centered world that only acknowledged the male's perspective I would assume that lesbianism had to do with a woman's inability to find the right man, or her daddy issues, or not having any other option because all the men are gone too. Women don't make choices. Or have feelings. Or inner-worlds or anything like that.But to be honest for some reason I do find Joy's response a little unsettling as well....something about the black & white, "you've either always been gay or not gay your whole life" argument rubs me the wrong way...I think because it totally oversimplifies and removes the utterly liquid and continuous process that is identity formation.....but then again the statistics themselves are also kind of weird...Like, how was this research done? Are they comparing coming out ages? Like more women between the ages of 35-60 are coming out than they are in the group of 18-34?? Or was it like within the age group of 35-60....most women are gay? Or did the census include a question that asked you if you were gay and then they compared the ages and realized the majority of these women are older? Or did they poll ex-married women and asked them if they were gay and the majority of them said yes??? Or was it older gay women and asked them if the majority of them had ever been married and they said yes?? Is that really a new phenomenon?Sorry for that long rant of pondering, I'm just starting to find more problems with this whole thing.And for kicks, http://www.hulu.com/watch/134721/saturday-night-live-whoopi-goldberg wait wait wait……
