MANILOW APOLOGIZES TO GAY FANS Crooning legend Barry Manilow has apologized to his gay fans after offending them at a New York concert.
When the "Copacabana" singer introduced his duet "Every Single Day" with Brian Darcy James last Thursday, he said, "We're not going to sing it to each other -- because that would be creepy." After a string of complaints from homosexual rights groups, Manilow's spokeswoman Jill Fritzo says, "The line was meant lightheartedly, but he's very sorry if he offended anyone. "Barry is a longtime supporter of AIDS research and Lambda Legal Defense (gay rights firm)."

I can't imagine that his gay fans would be offended by a harmless remark like that. | |

That's what I thought too...lol...but apparently not? He's closeted. I think he's had a partner for 15 or 20 years. | |

He's gay, and that was obviously a silly comment, considering the lyrics to the song. Geez, some people get pissed at any little thing. That's hardly real homophobia. 
Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |
