Maybe Hillary should have picked Cher as her running mate? This weekend, the timeless gay icon campaigned for Hillary Clinton in Provincetown, in perhaps one of the gayest events to ever happen.
“I helped work with her on the Senate campaign,” Cher said, “and I didn’t know how I felt about this woman. But I wanted to meet this woman that the GOP had been trashing since Bill Clinton came into office.”
So, she says, they met over tea. “You are so much fun,” Cher told her when they first met, “and you are so warm, and all these things I never see when you speak.” Hillary apparently told her that she’d been so crushed by the GOP just for trying to set up health care, and never thought it would be so personal. And, Cher added, Hillary is shy. Also, “she’s not the greatest speaker in the world.” The crowd laughed and cheered, since her meaning was clear: Hillary isn’t an actor, she’s a nerd. She’s not celebrity material, she’s President material.
“None of us are perfect, and I believe she’s genuine.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Cher also let Donald Trump have it. “He doesn’t want to be president. He wants the crowds,” she said, comparing him to a racist child. “He doesn’t mean we want to make America great again, he means he wants to make America straight and white.”
She also launched into a little storytelling about how she befriended her first lesbian, and also invoked the name of her son Chaz to remind the crowd how important the LGBT community has been to her throughout her life.
“I’m here for a multitude of reasons,” she said. “One, out of love, and two, out of fear. … I’m so frightened about what’s going to happen to this particular community. I know there are other minorities that are going to be screwed as well.”

What has Cher ever done for male homosexual rights? I can’t think of a thing.

Cher’s greatest contribution to the gay community was “Believe”. Every fag I know sang those songs for years afterward. Otherwise she’s a mindless old democrat who will not have to deal with the muslim friends of HRC. Cher will not be catcalled on the street, stalked, threatened or beat up by HRC’s muslim thugs. So fu ck this old bag.

Cher doesn’t need to do anything for the gay community. She just needs to say she supports us. That is all we should ask EVERYONE to do. That will be enough to change the culture of hate.
The two comments above are ignorant and hateful. Stop it.

@davegun2: Puh-lease, you’ve got to be kidding. I am fed up with females who claim to support us but who are actually using us to make money.
