As bad as she looked I saw the traces of the old Tammy Faye when she would smile or laugh. I will admit it. I cried a number of times during the interview. She has such grace and composure and I hope that things stay even for her.
She's a good person with a big heart. And I'm glad she passed on her acceptance of gay and lesbian people onto her son. Both of them are true Christians.
zepka102, you should go out and rent "The Eyes of Tammy Faye". Its a wonderful documentary about her. She is the evangelical christian that I know of who actually walks the walk. Theres a great quote from the movie:
"We're all made from the same dirt and God didn't make any junk!"
“Gays Rescued Me,” Says Tammy Faye.
Tammy Faye Messner made an appearance on Larry King last night. Hopefully you all had a chance to hear what she had to say - if not, you’re in luck, because reader Alan sent along this collection of clips from the interview, including Tammy Faye discussing how the gays lent her a helping hand after Jim Bakker ****ed her over.
Son Jay also points out that Tammy Faye helped provide the bridge between the Evangelical movement and gay churches, particularly Troy Perry’s Metropolitan Community Church. Even if you’re not Christian or religious in any way, shape or form, you can’t deny Tammy Faye’s impact on our world. And, despite the terminal cancer, she’s still as cheery as ever. And her eyelashes still look swell!
Here’s the transcript of Tammy Faye’s appearance. Read it and weep - literally, it’s heartbreaking
