Sherri Shepherd still clueless [video]

”This is something that I struggle with all the time. Because, you know, I have a friend who is gay and he told me of the pain that he went through, and from the moment he was young, he had those feelings. And who am I to say you didn’t have those feelings? I struggle with it everyday. Because, you know, of my faith, and what my faith says about, you know, being gay. And my friends, who I love dearly, who are. So, its something that, everyday, that I ask God about…. He also says that ‘There are some things that I don’t want you to do.’ … The Bible does address gay people…. I’m not trying to judge anyone, it’s just something that I struggle with.”

Sherri Shepherd, actress and talk show panelist, on the her daytime TV show ”The View” replying to Barbara Walters whether she believes gay people are born gay or not. She’s also known for previously saying on the show that she did not believe in Evolution, that she did not know if the world was flat, that she would not allow her son to wear a dress while he lives in her house, and that nothing predates the Christians because Jesus came before the Greeks and the Romans.
