Sometimes people's religion is more flexible about sexuality when their own family member is gay. They just don't broadcast it. Case in Point: Dick Cheney

Other than publicity, I am not sure why Roseanne would even comment on something so personal to Marie. I think it's rude and uncaring. But, I have never been a fan of Roseanne, so my view may be colored.

We don't know that his being gay, and/or that his family's religion caused him to commit suicide. We do know that severe depression runs in families however, and there is a history there.

We also know that he had an addiction issue.

We could easily speculate that any of these things or some combination of them lead to his depression.

But we really don't know. His last note was to tell his family he loved them, so I'm not thinking there was a lot of guilt/angst there.

Not a fan of Roseanne at all and her timing and exploitation of a specific person/family stinks, but no surprise, considering.

But the point about the effects of religion or religious groups/families on gay kids is right on.

Jimmer, it is an awfully good bet that a young person who has suffered from what might be labelled as depression and then completes a suicide oh and happens to be gay, lesbian, bi or trans.. it would be hard for me to bet that it wasn't connected. So sad.

No, Jimmer, I don't presume to know what made any particular person commit suicide. I am just making the point that it is true that some people could resort to suicide because of societal pressure to conform, and that I think it's sad that anyone would kill him/herself because he/she hadn't found acceptance. Imo, depression could make a person feel like there was no way out--still not a reason to commit suicide because of the horrible effect it has on the survivors and because of the loss of a human life that could have been happy and productive at some time in the future.

My DH suffers from clinical depression and meds have been his savior. There is nothing situational about his condition, it has everything to do with a missing chemical in his brain. He used to just stare at the wall and cry. It's an awful condition!

I think Roseanne's intentions were to bring to light an issue, and I agree she should not have directed it towards Marie, though.

I know a person who is clinically depressed may think there is no way out of the deep, deep hole. I cannot imagine it.

int he category of well-deserved awards: Last night, Sandra Bullock picked up her Golden Raspberry for Worst Actress! It was for her performance in last year's All About Steve. She beat out some tough competition, too: she was up against Miley Cyrus (but at least Miley's dad won in the Worst Supporting Actor in his daughter's film). Worst Actor winners were the Jonas Brothers for their performance in Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience.

I love that Sandra went and made fun of herself. Most Hollywood types are too serious about themselves.

I'm really glad that Mrs. Rancic (nee DiPandi) is finally wearing a wedding ring for the red carpet. I figured it would be stunning (it is).
Is there a thread to discuss tonights Academy Awards show?

That's outstanding! I bet SNL's ratings that night will be HUGE. I don't usually watch it, but I sure will that night.

Last saturday night's SNL made my physically ill with the making out funeral scene. It was awful, not at all funny.

I would love to see Betty on SNL. However most of the time I record it but end up fast forwarding through nearly the entire episode unless the host is someone I like. Many of their skits are just not funny in my opinion.

I don't stay up that late, but I bet Betty will be a hoot. I wonder if they'll do a Golden Girls spoof.

I don't know what's happened to SNL in the past couple of years, it's gotten SO bad. I've been a faithful viewer ever since the very first show aired all those years ago, and while they've had one or two kinda lame seasons over the decades, nothing compares to this cast. Kristen Wig leaves me cold, she's not the least bit funny and is, in fact, downright annoying and, unfortunately, she's in so many skits.

I also found the kissing family funeral scene obnoxious as well; so over the top to see those two guys tonguing each other like that. I think Loren needs to hang it up if this is the best he's got.

She's also going to be on Bonnie Hunt tomorrow. I did a TIVO search for her, but didn't see SNL listed yet.

No, not this Saturday. Articles about Betty on SNL say some time in the future. Probably not too distant.

Tomorrow's show with Betty is a rerun of Feb. 17. It will be new to me though. The show was during the first week of the Olympics. We had daytime Olympic coverage in Chicago, so no Bonnie for two weeks.

aahh ty!! I actually think the whole FB movement to persuade SNL to have host was a publicity stunt. It's all good though, I cant wait to see her host. I hope she does Sue Ann

I keep trying to cut Miley Cyrus a break because she is so freaking young and I know I had no sense at 17, but then she goes and says things like this about her and her boyfriend - "I think we're both deeper than normal people--what they think and how they feel." Oh Miley. What are we going to do with you?

She goes on to say He's a really freaking good actor is what he is. And he's cute--so he's got that."


Wow Miley, that's deep.
