Dick Cheney’s daughter isn’t the only one caught up in a lesbian controversy.
Singer Wynonna Judd is being bombarded with e-mails from conservative Christians, urging her to cancel her engagement to perform aboard a cruise ship devoted to lesbian vacationers. If Judd doesn’t cancel, some are saying she might face a boycott.
The popular country star is scheduled to sing on a Caribbean cruise Jan. 29 through Feb. 2 sponsored by a company called Olivia, which, according to its web site, is “dedicated to providing high quality, safe vacations for lesbian travelers.”
The Traditional Values Coalition is calling Judd’s engagement “disgraceful,” saying it “conflicts with her professed Christian faith” and suggests that Judd has been “misled by the mainstream media on the origins of same-sex attractions and the self-destructive results of such attractions.”
It’s telling members to contact Judd and ask that she cancel the concert, saying on its Web site “Urge her to study what the Bible says in both the Old and New Testaments about homosexuality …. to learn how faith in Christ has set men and women free from bondage to this life-controlling condition.”
