Who cares what anyone says about the genius which Susan portrays. We all who love herand will not be tarnished. We wait with passion for her album here in the USA….

Your family’s notes are so touching! I just had to say that!

And I had no clue Stiers was gay. It’s getting to where the interest for me is, “working for Disney, you say? I wonder how that went for him.”

I agree that he’s no pioneer, but I’m glad he’s joined the conversation.

I love ya aunt deb. I love that you’ve always been honest to the family and especially the nieces and nephews as they grew up, not hiding a thing. There are too many people that are afraid to be who they are. I think the issue of coming out of the closet, although normally associated with sexuality, can mean so many more things. It may mean not hiding anymore. It may mean finally realizing that no one can judge you beyond how much you let them. I think at this point in my life, i’m going through a little ‘coming out.’ I’m gonna be Ashley fuckin’ Beer and no one can make me any different. I can finally be just me. I think in many ways you’ve shown to a lot of us as a family that its amazing to just be yourself. You’ve never hidden- you may have feared- but we never saw it. I’m not afraid anymore, and I think in many ways, I have you to thank for that.

i have always really appreciated how open and honest you are about your life – although it may be a function of your love of storytelling, and not a conscious decision to be forthright.

I think the more celebrities that are gay or lesbian come out, the better. For too long, being gay or lesbian has been an isolating experience

I assumed it WAS complimentary of Barack, just to say it. He seems to like his children more, for example.

I’m not sure if I want “feminine”traits to dominate politics, but that’s another discussion, and I’m not completely decided, either.

Expect no hardy-har-hars from me. I always thought it was mean to play April Fool’s jokes on people.

Dousing myself with April Fool’s repellent screws with my ability to live fully in the moment.

Why are all the holidays in Spring lame? Valentine’s Day is lame. St. Patrick’s Day is lame. April Fool’s day – lame. Easter – lame (well, the current incarnation is pretty lame. The pagan origins are awesome). Really, Spring Break is the only good holiday, if you can even call it that.

Actually, Easter this year is going to be WONDERFUL. I am so excited to see you!

It’s interesting that the personality traits we as a society value in politicians are such masculine ones: decisiveness, power, idealism, itchiness to start shooting. . . It seems like the world would be a much better place if we elected leaders who were compassionate, nurturing, and eager to compromise.

Also – Barack Obama is the greatest thing to happen to American women since the pill, even though most women don’t realize it.
