Comedienne Roseanne Barr took to her blog to blast the Mormon church for its anti-gay rhetoric, speculating that the pressure drove Marie Osmond’s son Michael Blosil to commit suicide in Los Angeles last week.
Barr doesn’t attack Osmond (much) directly, instead blaming the institutionalized homophobia in the Mormon church for driving Michael to suicide:
because he had been told how wrong and how sick he was every day of his life by his church and the people in it. Calling that “depression” is a lie!
Gerald Lund one of the ex church apostles has three gay kids himself.
Yet, even though the people they say they love the most in all of their public displays and speeches (THEIR KIDS AND FAMILY!!) are gay,– their own children,for crying out loud- these people cannot find the christian decency and compassion within themselves to stop their hypocritical gay bashing!!
Barr goes on to take a minor swipe at Osmond, urging her to advocate for kids like Michael in the same way she advocates for
Marie please don’t talk about how your faith in your church has helped you get through this one! Please get some integrity and tell that church of yours that you will leave it and stop giving it ten percent of your money if they don’t stop trying to destroy your kids’ and all gay people’s civil rights and dreams and hopes!!
G-d is trying to use you for something good and this is your opportunity! Your church is wrong and on the wrong wrong wrong side of things! Get as vocal about that as you are about your diet. G-d bless you too, Marie.
Osmond has not commented on the issue.

As a woman and mother, I am appalled at the lack of common civility and outright cruelty Roseanne Barr has extended to Marie Osmond just days after the loss of her son. Roseanne has despicably used another family’s tragedy as her stage to spew her insane trailer trash ramblings.
While Roseanne likes to believe that she is spiritual and a cut above the rest, she is nothing more than an undomesticated goat made of mutton and dung.
Even a goat knows when to shut up. Is there no end to your rabid bleatings, Roseanne BarN?
Roseanne BarN’s idea of being domesticated is cooking a batch of burned gingerbread jews while wearing a swastika on her shoulder. Now WTF is that? Take a look around the net, you’ll see.
She’s a damned wanna be Hitler.

I feel bad for those who end their lives, but it must be understood that it was their choice. Everybody has problems and everybody must choose how to deal with those problems. Homosexuals are by no means the only ones on earth to deal with difficulties, insecurities, or even feelings of loneliness. If homosexual members feel that they are alone in being asked to suppress urges, then think again. We all have crosses to bear. Some church members deal with pornography addiction. Some church members deal with alcohol addictions. Everybody deals with temptations. The church does not ask anymore of its homosexual members then it does of any its other members. For example, there are many straight members who may never marry in this life due to a variety of reasons. They must live a celibate life for as long as they are single. Members do need to be supportive and kind to all, but to ask a church to change its doctrinal stand that is clearly spelled out in the Bible, just to make Rosanne Barr happy, is not going to happen. I rather offend Rosanne then offend my God.
