1. well if she was or wasn't knocked up, who cares as long as she isn't on the public (welfare/social services) dole?

3. WOW Barbara way to think outside the box! If you are not gay you don't know if people choose that lifestyle. Regardless, if you watched the whole clip - you would have learned that children need to be loved no matter who has them. As long as they receive love and attention they will turn into Wonderful Open Minded Individuals who will accept people as they are. Being stuck with a mother who doesn't want you doesn't sound like a healthy life for any child.

4. Wow, it took a whole two comments for the anti-gay sentiment to show up. Barbara, why would anyone choose to be gay in a society full of people like you? Why would anyone choose to be hated? And as far as children needing "both their parents, mother and father," as you said - this line of reasoning suggests that single parents shouldn't be allowed to have children, either.

There are so many children stuck in the system. Children who need homes. If I had to choose between shuffling a kid through foster homes and group homes and placing him/her with a loving, solid gay couple, I wouldn't think twice before going with the latter.

5. Homosexuality is definitely present at birth and it is scientifically proven. To those who believe a person would choose to feel and behave in such a way that he/she would be cast in a negative light, ridiculed and discriminated against, well - clearly there is a need for education and a swift kick in the derrière. There is only one race: the human race. We are all brothers and sisters, no matter what your color, sex, religion, nationality or sexual preference. Studies have shown that children can be raised in homes with any or a combination of any of the aforementioned different peoples without any negative outcome.
Get a clue people. Children need a mother and a father? Only if those two parents are decent, loving, responsible people. Gay people are inherently decent, loving and responsible people, just as all other people are. Children need those qualities, not two parents of opposite sex. Single parents do quite well in raising children, without the "benefit" of the other parent (of the opposite sex to balance the two).
Live and let live, and take the stick out of your posterior.

6. Barbara, Your ignorance is showing. Go hide.

7. Barbara, I know how ignorant you are from your comment you left. Gay people ARE born gay. Unlike Ignorant people, Ingnorance is learned!!!!! I am a proud gay father and my child is a great hetrosexual child. As for your comment about needing a mother and a father, as god intended, WHAT do you say about single moms or dads that are parents, when the other spouse has left. What do you say about the kids that are Gay and have two hetrosexual parents???? I feel for you and your family and your kids if you have any. But god doesn't choose who gets a child and who doesn't, obvisiouly, cause he lets ignorant people have kids. Grow up and stop the HATE, you are as bad as Bin Laden, you keep spreading the HATE. LEARN, LIVE, LOVE, no matter what.

8. Barbara, who are you to stand in JUDGEMENT of any human being? Shame on you! You should Pray that one of your children, grandchildren or great grandchildren don't turn out to be gay otherwise you will say that was their CHOICE! You need to take a course or to, how about researching before opening your mouth.

9. Funny, I never recall ever choosing to be heterosexual. Ever. Never came to me that I'd look a guy over and think, "Ooo, he's kinda cute, wonder if I can convince him to bat for the other team." Sorry, but if you yourself think you can be persuaded to do so, I'm guessing you might be a little gay yourself. Just so you know.

11. Barbra!! i can't believe you. God intended for children to be raise by loving parents to raise them into healthy adults. not by a heterosexual or just homosexual couple. he never said by which. tho he did say homosexuality is a sin (sorry people don't hate me for this) it doesn't matter as long as the children of this world are brought up by loving parents. would you rather have a gay couple who raise their children with good morals or a heterosexual couple who are always fighting, or father beats the mother? i would pick the first. God also said that we should not judge others. God judges people in the end which is the ultimate judgement anyway so why do we?

12. I agree with Barbara. Good for you for speaking up and speaking your convictions.

13. You're so wrong. You are how you are and it's not a choice, gays are capable of being just as good a parent as any straight person. How closed-minded of you.

15. My daughter is 18 and has two gay-male friends, she has a great relationship with them, and says they are funny and nice, and just in general GREAT people, so people of America? Stop being homophobe's, they aren't gonna BITE you :-)

16. Really, what's the root of homophobia? Is it people not wanting to accept, or even fearing, any new way of thinking, of living, and instead of trying to embrace it, just shunning it and hating all the individuals involved?
If you think about it... it's quite narrow-minded.
People should really think before they speak, to fully think about the beliefs they're putting out there.

17. So does this mean pedophelia is present at birth. If it does, why do we demand they keep their lifestyle in check, but it's okay that homosexuals may practice freely. Perhaps this is a question of choice and what all of us collectively need to decide before we just let a minority decide for us. And for the record, I do not believe pedophilia is okay, so don't even try suggesting I said it was.

19. This, perhaps, has to be the most idiotic and disrespectful thing AOL has done to any celebrity. On their welcome page, they ran a headline saying that Alba was pregnant before or implying that she was pregnant and hid it from everybody. Then you go and find it was a character she played. I can see the Christian Right looking at that headline alone and judgin the lady. It shows that the folks at AOL really hae no place in journalism. Stop lying to your customers, idiots!
