Phyllis, I'm sorry to hear that. I would hope you'd survive and thrive in any circumstances!

Guys - Can we end this thread and the others of the same topic? Just put a self imposed lock on them this second and move on? It's gotten way out of hand and I think it's easy to forget that this is a real person with real feelings being discussed that happened to make a mistake. Nobody can actually believe she's homophobic. You just can't. Was it a homophobic thing she said? Yeah it was but that doesn't make HER homophobic and we all know that.
This thing is all over the place now with this board and us, it's community at the center of it along with Alice. Let's do her and us a favor and just move on. She said she was sorry which is all people wanted in the first place. Now that she said it, there's no need continuing this and letting it linger. Let's just say "goodnight" to it and no matter how hard it might be, leave this topic alone.
I think in this situation it's the right thing to do. And as I said before, I'm going to go put on SIDE SHOW and lip sync "Who Will Love Me As I Am" in the mirror with my hairbrush and I think you should do the same.

Posted: 6/8/10 at 10:46pmI'm not familiar with Ms. Ripley's career as others are. I do remember that crazazy Tony Awards speech of hers. Obviously, she put her foot in her mouth, big time. But, she's apologized. I'm curious as to what her Broadway peers think of her verbal error. from RC in Austin, Texas

Ok, so this has been in the back of my mind....does anyone expect to possibly see this in Riedel's column?

Posted: 6/8/10 at 11:52pmJason, I wish you would go away. Just back out the door you slammed through and never come back here. That's just what I wish you would do. Me personally. I've already had enough of you. No offense intended, I just wish you would take my advice and go.

Harvey Fierstein hath spoken, on Alice's Facebook page:

Harvey Fierstein
Sister, sister, sister. We know where your heart is. Turn the other cheek and rise above. Love from Toronto!

Posted: 6/9/10 at 2:57amFor what it's worth, I was told that Alice also apologized privately to the person in question. I think it's time to move on.

I've prayed over this and all the pain this has caused Ms. Ripley. Dennis Shepard, at the sentencing of Matthew's killer, Aaron McKinney said to him "remember you had the opportunity and the ability to stop your actions that night." Ms. Ripley also had that opportunity before she hit the return to post her hate talk. We are responsible for our actions when they affect other people. I think, from what I have read, Ms. Ripley must be a good person, if somewhat bewildered.
And now, I'm going to call Jason Bennett because I want him to coach me on Rodgers and Sondheim's "We're Gonna Be Alright." Thank God I've found him. The Lord does work in mysterious ways.

Posted: 6/9/10 at 9:33amShe made herself a shirt that said SORRY ASS BITCH. There's a picture of it on Facebook. I thought it was hilarious.

I thought it was over, but since the thread is still here I am wondering what kind of stuff does she do for the gay community? I mean, I personally don't know where her heart is or how her mind works, despite being told that by the Harvey Fierstein's and Jason whatevers of the world.
I mean, yeah, she apologized, after first being petulant and even more immature than she was at first. I don't think any of this is a hanging offense, but I'm just wondering why everyone is talking about her like she should a canonized, when really before this incident all people ever really said was that she was as crazy as the character she plays.

Why should anyone listen to you? Why would you tell someone to forgive her when earlier you said "good for her" for saying and told people to shut up.

What a bunch ridiculousness- Move on. The horror of this situation is there are REAL cases of homophobia happening in the world and yet you choose to blast a "real life" ally. I guess it's easier to fight sitting in the comfort of your home with a keyboard than on the streets. MOVE ON to more important things
