Barbra Streisand Releases Statement on her Gay Sex being ”Distasteful” thought
As a community coming out into the light and having people find out things about us that they already knew but faked they didn’t, like that we have sex and sex being sex is no different than straight sex unless you only do the missionary position. As of oral sex goes many gays are not into it or don’t know how to do it correctly, same as straights. If straight women and men would learn how to do it correctly and enjoy it at the same time it will drive many prostitutes out of business and will keep many women without the need for the cable man to do other but cables.
Streisand have always though she was better than rye bread and now she thinks she knows what disgusting sex is, I wish she will tell me, because the only disgusting sex to me is either unwilling partner sex or pedophile sex. Anything else is just sex!
Please do read her stamens below but it seems to me that she still running from the issue. The issue is she is a Hippocratic and thinks she is cleaner than anybody else. I wonder if she uses the toilet or just the bade.
As time goes on and we become more ‘legalize’ we will find that people we though of friends did not know us as well or did not have such a good impression of us as we thought they did.
It took a while for the idea of women to vote, for blacks to be free and for biracial marriages to to catch on. As a matter of fact there still parts in this country that if a biracial couple stopped for gas while traveling and a cup of coffee it could cost them their lives. So these things take a while but what we need is to stay true to ourselves and call it as we see it not giving free passes to anyone, family, friends or others on a gay joke, the fag word or anything that is offensive and in-humanized us.

Star of stage and screen, Barbra Streisand is credited with being the first filmmaker to realize the potential of turning the Larry Kramer's 1985 play THE NORMAL HEART, which follows the early days of the AIDS epidemic in the U.S., into a feature-length film. The play debuted at New York's Public Theatre in 1985 and was revived in Los Angeles and London, and off-Broadway. The 2011 Broadway revival garnered five Tony nominations, winning for Best Revival, Best Featured Actor and Best Featured Actress.
The actress held an option on the project for 10 years and continued her efforts to bring it to fruition even after that option expired.
In an interview published in last week's New York Times, NORMAL HEART playwright Larry Kramer lashed out atStreisand, accusing the actress of finding gay sex 'distasteful.' (Read story here)
Today, Streisand released a statement to The New York Times on her long effort to help achieve right-to-love equality and her gratitude that A Normal Heart has finally been brought to large viewing audiences.
The statement follows:
MAY 27, 2014, 11:27 pm
When I fell in love with Larry's Kramer's play, "The Normal Heart," in 1986, I wanted to promote the idea of everyone's right to love. Gay or straight!
The gay community was suffering. A new disease was rearing its ugly head and no one was listening.
Larry was at the forefront of this battle and God love him, he's still fighting. But there's no need to fight me by misrepresenting my feelings.
As a filmmaker I have always looked for new and exciting ways to do love scenes. It's a matter of taste... whether they're about heterosexuals or homosexuals.
I was trying to reach a large audience and I wanted them to want these two men to get married!
We've come a long way since then-gay marriage is now legal in 17 states, but there are still 33 more to go.
I'm just glad that a large audience will finally get to see this story. It's an historical document now.
