Carol Channing: Adorable?

November 21, 2006

20061121_channing_260x220.jpgWe saw an odd and confusing little piece on The Advocate's website this morning: Carol Channing wants to be clear that she isn’t homophobic. Oh. Kay.

Apparantly, she gave an interview to a Cleveland-based gay publication where she claimed she was “knee-deep in the Bible." She continued: "and you know what it says about that." The article also claimed that Channing said that gay rights were “not her problem.”

But in an interview with In Los Angeles, Channing said, "I never said that! I've never read anything in the Bible about being gay, or at least I haven't read that part. But it is true that I don't think about them in that way. They are gay. Who cares? The Bible says, 'Love thy neighbor as thyself.' "

Channing noted that her record of fighting for gay rights "speaks for itself" and described gays as self-sufficient. "Not being gay, it hasn't been a problem I've had to live with myself," she said.

Whether she's homophobic or not is frankly, not our problem. Really, the best part about Carol Channing being in the news (especially when you work in a room full of gays) is that everyone can do an impression of her. Say it with us, now: “Raspberries!”

thank god, I though I was the only person on earth who'd ever seen Carol Channing say that, maybe it's just because I live in Iowa.
