View Full Version : Please stop picking on Laurie Metcalf because of her sexual preference
A.D.A. Casey Novak 10-19-2012, 08:23 PM Who cares that her marriage was a sham? Who cares that both she and Matt Roth are gay? I am so sick of hearing about this. Maybe if America was less judgemental, they wouldn't have had to pretend. Who cares that Laurie is sexually attracted to other ladies? What difference does it make to us either way? And who cares that they decided to have children together? Just because they're gay doesn't mean they aren't good parents. Laurie should feel free to be intimate with whomever she pleases. So should Matt. Those poor, poor people. Don't you understand? People are BORN that way. They have feeling too you know.
duckie 10-19-2012, 10:20 PM She's gay? I had no idea, but I agree, if thats what she wants, more power to her.
Brieannas21 10-20-2012, 02:55 PM This is News to me.
Mr. Television 10-20-2012, 03:00 PM This is News to me.
Me too. I heard about Sara Gilbert but nothing about Laurie.
Brieannas21 10-20-2012, 03:07 PM Me too. I heard about Sara Gilbert but nothing about Laurie.
Yeah I knew about Sara. I think this is just an untrue rumor.
Retro4Life 10-20-2012, 03:41 PM Also, who on Earth is picking on her, for any reason? She's not gay, for one, and for another, I don't recall anyone picking on her because they THOUGHT she was gay.
Must be a full moon or something.
:ufo:
Fuffer 10-20-2012, 03:46 PM I also know that Sara Gilbert is a lesbian, but Laurie Metcalf is NOT a lesbian and if she was who really cares. It is her life to do with as she pleases.
TVFactFan 10-20-2012, 06:25 PM well I just found out about sara gilbert in this thread. My mom just told me about Laurie Metcalf and stated she is on the show called the Talk.
Brieannas21 10-20-2012, 06:33 PM well I just found out about sara gilbert in this thread. My mom just told me about Laurie Metcalf and stated she is on the show called the Talk.
I find that hard to believe that Laurie said that she was gay on The Talk. Wouldn't it had made entertainment news? Her divorce made it into entertainment new and not her coming out? I don't believe it until I see it

No she just said she is on the show called "The Talk". Not that she mentioned it on the show.
Fuffer 10-20-2012, 07:47 PM Sara Gilbert is on the show "The Talk".
Brieannas21 10-20-2012, 08:21 PM Sara Gilbert is on the show "The Talk".
Exactly.
Not Laurie
Fuffer 10-20-2012, 08:29 PM Exactly.
Not LaurieI don't know if Laurie was a guest on the show, but she is definitely NOT a host and I seriously doubt she is a lesbian.
TVFactFan 10-20-2012, 08:38 PM Well my mom must have thought I was talking about sara gilbert

First of all, I don't give a flying leap about this woman's sexual preference either, but what I do have a problem with is being told what to write and what NOT to write! We still all have freedom of speech in this country so I will say and write what I want to! I'm sick of being told I can't express my own opinion anymore! I also want to make clear that I have never heard anythng about this or "picked on" her or anyone else, but I just had to express my feelings of being told not to say this or that!

I agree. We should be able to post our opinions without being flamed.
Sean Conner 12-29-2012, 05:26 AM To be fair, your freedom of speech doesn't extend to this internet forum. I'm not saying you're guilty of this - but most online forums have rules and can ban you for breaching those rules ... free speech or not. If you post something inflammatory that goes against the terms you agreed to when you signed up, that post can be deleted and it's perfectly legal - constitution or not.
Sorry, this isn't even directed at you technically ... just something I see an awful lot of online and it bugs me. No, your freedom of speech doesn't transfer over to the internet. You don't necessarily get to say whatever you want. You might get away with it, but if I go around calling people racist or bigoted names and troll, that's not protected under free speech.
Like I said, this isn't even targeted toward you - just that misconception out there that people have free rein to say or do whatever they want on the internet without people stepping in and denying them that avenue. It's certainly your right - but that doesn't mean a moderator or someone else won't step in and delete your comment. You know?

You are right. Many people like to throw around "freedom of speech" w/o knowing what it means.
Freedom of speech means that one cannot be arrested/prosecuted in the U.S. simply for their words alone (with the exception of threats, harassment, false alarms...)
Freedom of speech does not apply to private companies, or in this case message boards. The owners are free to make their own rules/guidelines on what they allow to go on within their business.
If one violates those guidelines they won't be arrested for it, but they will be fired/banned.
liane49 04-24-2013, 12:23 PM Me too. I heard about Sara Gilbert but nothing about Laurie.
I think Laurie is so funny on the BIg Bang Theroy as Sheldon's mother and I wish she was on more.
