After her controversial
remarks on the radio this
past weekend where she said that gays don't care about anyone but
themselves, Roseanne today posted the following apology on her web site.
"I deeply regret that I have offended gay
people. I said things that I do not really mean, before I had thought
them through... I was wrong and I seriously apologize!
What I really meant to say... which was that everybody needs to unite
right now, and step outside of their own neighborhoods, groups, races
and classes to stop Bush's war on our country and our people. I love
gays and I hate division. I am just a big idiot with a big mouth
sometimes. I will learn to be more careful! Please forgive me, I am so
sorry!!!!
The leaders of gay groups need to align with the leaders of Acorn, and
other groups of poor and desperate Americans and fight against those who
oppress all of us!
I have met too many gays who are Republicans, and I cannot understand
how they could choose that!
Let's all leave our own bedrooms, kitchens, neighborhoods and groups and
meet each other to form a diverse army that stands for Democracy and
Economic Justice!!!!
Again I apologize for any pain or hurt I have caused those whom I have
always loved and befriended."
