I am Donna's #1 fan. I LOVE her! I'm taking quotes from this article so you don't have to read the entire thing: http://www.pridesource.com/article.shtml?article=31607
Question: You were one of the first artists to have an intense and noticeable g*y following. At what point in your career did you realize you had this legion of g*y fans?
Summer: From the beginning, my whole scene broke out in the g*y clubs. I don't know if I would have a career if it hadn't been, in some ways, for the way 'Love to Love You Baby' started off and everybody jumped on it. It was really in the g*y clubs the song took off - they really embraced that new sound. I have to give credit where credit is due.
Question: As a Christian, how do you reconcile your religious beliefs with your acceptance of the g*y community?
Summer: I don't think I have to reconcile them. I just accept people for who they are. The Bible says you got to love everybody; it doesn't make any exceptions, so I don't make any exceptions.
Question:What are your thoughts on g*y marriage?
Summer: I don't really have an opinion on it, to tell you the truth. I think people have to do what they feel they have to do. Not being g*y myself, I don't have the same frame of reference - do you know what I'm saying? I don't know what it is to feel like you can never be married or any of that, because I am married, I have kids and I have all those things. It's uncharted ground for me personally; I can't even make a comment on it.
Question: How would you react to having a g*y child?
Summer: I would love my child, there's no question about it. Love is everything. You have to accept what's real, and you have to be in truth. So you love people for who they are and for their good qualities. That's the bottom line - and that's how I was raised, by the way.
