Cher appears to leave Twitter after voicing support for anti-gay pastor
by Stephen Gray

Tweets sent from Cher’s account praising a pastor who said gay people were “not God’s best work” have drawn confusion from fans.

Cher had praised the welcoming nature of pastor Joel Osteen, who has said homosexuality is a sin, after buying his latest book.

<Snip - this snip contains important information about the 'welcoming' pastor, but I needed to trim it down to the allowed 4 paragraphs>

Discussing the civil rights advances in the US in her lifetime, she said: “In my lifetime ive seen many things change ! When i was young it was against law 2 b Gay,4 blk & white 2 mary,women 2 control their Bodies, 4 gays to get married & on & on! Chaz could be out & loved! Anything can change when we make ppl c us loving human beings!”

Cher then appeared to indicate she was leaving the micro-blogging site: “If u can cut me loose because i think we can change what pple believe today then my heart is broken! Maybe im naive to believe everything can change but gay pple have stayed w/me through 40 yrs when every1 else left! If i broke our bond & u hav no love 4 me anymore this is my last txt.

No further tweets have been sent since last night.

1. Sounds like she has some soul searching to do.

I hope it works out for the best.

2. This makes no sense.

I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt until more information on this comes to light.

4. Her tweets made no sense

Yikes what atrocious writing. You practically need a translator.

3. I really can't take this at face value without corroboration.

She's very pro-gay; even if she tweeted this, on balance, she's more pro-gay than almost anyone else, so if I'm entitled to bad days, so is she. Totally <3 her.

5. I'm with you

I think something here has to be a misunderstanding.

6. Me too...nt

7. Yes, something seems wrong here.

I would guess it is either someone impersonating her, hacked into her account, or, she might have had one or two too many and drunk-tweeted.
