Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 6 2008, 11:44 PM EST That's a hard call, you really want to give it to this guy, but your girl needs you to keep a low profile, plus you are just taking off professionally will anyone else invite you to their party why not do it anonymously you still get your point across? 8 out of 10 found this valuable.

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 7 2008, 7:17 AM EST not I don't agree with what she did; it was absolutely none of her bussiness and outing someone, for any reason, is just wrong. Besides, she broke the trust of the guy who invited her to the party since she had to sign a waiver saying she would not take photos or videos or disclose to anyone who was at the party. How the fuck could she actually believe that outing a famous athlete on her site was a good idea, especially given Tasha's pending trial???? being pegged as a gay rights advocate is not going to help tasha's case at all and Alice appeared to want to help her at any cost. Tasha is absolutely right, her problem is that she dose not think. 3 out of 4 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 7 2008, 7:47 AM EST I really didn't agree with Alice here at all. I actually think it was completely out of character for her. It was almost like the writers gave Alice a temporary lobotomy for this episode! She's an internet journalist and knows the power of the internet, so why she would put the video on Our Chart and then not expect the mainstream media to get hold of it is just beyond me. If she was so set on outing the Daryl, she should have posted anonamously on YouTube or something like that without putting her name to it. What she's done will probably have jeopordised Tasha's hearing completely, most likely to the point that she will not win her case. I just didn't think this storyline was anything like Alice at all, I think it was just the writers way of breaking up Tasha and Alice! :o( Em xx 4 out of 5 found this valuable. Do you? |

Feb 7 2008, 12:53 PM EST She should have researched it first...people are going to be very judgemental on the way she did it...Him with a wife and kids and all....I also think she should have waited on Tausha to get back with her on the subject.........She might have been able to help her do it the right way.....Like maybe confronting him on it,and help him understand he cant hate on his own kind......Cause he really does need help for that!!!!! 1 out of 2 found this valuable.

Feb 7 2008, 1:33 PM EST Ya no I was having a hard time making a decision on that but then I think yes she was right for doing that! If he had never said what he did then no that was wrong. He did not have to say all that bull on TV. If he wanted to stay in the closet thats fine but respect his community. 2 out of 3 found this valuable. Do you? |

I mean she knows that her girlfriend has to keep a low profile about her sexuality and then she goes on national t.v and says shes gay! I think she should have outted the basketball player but should have waited untill the trial with tasha was over! he still would of been gay then! 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 7 2008, 10:40 PM EST The end of relationship thing is very confusing because just a few short episodes ago they were pledging they do anything for the other. From watching the promos Alice still has to testify at Tasha's trail. I know no matter what she would still do what ever she could to help her but why throw it all away. Women can't work their problems out all of a sudden. I don't understand why everytime we start to enjoy a character or a couple they all have to break up. I like that Tasha and Alice are so different thats what makes them fun to watch cause you just can't see the two of them together, but somehow it just works. And the chemistry these two have is just f$c$ing amazing. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 7 2008, 10:48 PM EST i actually think that alice may have done the right thing. although it may have been rash and a little too sudden and drastic, she thought she was doing the right thing. she did it out of love for tasha, even though that's not the affect it had on tasha. despite the fact that alice made a bit of a mess, someone has to stick up for us sometimes. it may be seen us slightly ignorant, but in the end, i think it was a good sacrifice. (i still really hope alice and tasha get back together) 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 7 2008, 10:52 PM EST Heck ya I agree with what she did. I am so sick of gay bashing. Is it just me or do any of you feel like the government actually condones the marginalization of GLBT's. We live in America right???....sometimes it feels like we live in Nazi, Germany. Constitutional Amendments depriving us of rights...on what planet is that considered "Land of the Free"? Sorry...let me get off my soap box. In short I believe that what Alice did was right. There is nothing worse than a homosexual in the closet who bashes other homosexuals. It is like politicians who are gay voting against gay rights. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

This is a tricky one I agree, he should not incite hate and prejudice like he did, he should have put his celebrity to better use by promoting understanding and respect, so I get where Alice was comming from. However, this did not give her the right to do what she did. Confronting him 1 to 1 would probably have achieved more . 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 8 2008, 5:00 PM EST I was actually kind of surprised that she took the video at the party (since she had assured Tosha how safe she would be). I don't agree with what he said but I still don't agree with what she did either. I think that perhaps she should have contacted him personally first and asked him to retract his homophobic statement made to the press. It probably would have been more helpful for Alice to try to convince the athlete to become an advocate or something. Instead the media attention is hearing this guy say how "sick" he was like being gay is an illness and that he was going to spend his time "recovering". Just my thoughts- love Alice though 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Feb 8 2008, 7:25 PM EST This incident could help her be a little more careful in the future...I hope at the trial we get to see where all this is headed...I think she will be honorable to Tausha,and maybe think,before she reacts!!! Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 8 2008, 10:19 PM EST Allice is the "Queen of gossip" she always cant resist to talk about someone or anything that interest her. I think Allice think alot before put the video at her site. But after saw the guy on TV talk about Gay people in negative comment, Allice cant help it, she thought she did the right thing. Beside Allice think people will agree (especially gay people) with her action.But Allice feel guilty also after watch that the guy regret after comment really bad about gay people. And yes, Allice doesnt think that it will affect to Tasha investigation. But thats Allice, she is just being what she is ( remember when she yelled in the church "DANA IS A GAY". Allice just cant watch a bullshit thing, Allice just allice!!! Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Do you agree with what Alice did, what would you have done?
Feb 8 2008, 11:36 PM EST I believe Alice did the right thing. Daryl was on the down-low which means he did not believe he was gay but only wanted to have sex with other men. He obviously didn't realize that that meant he is gay. Then he had the audacity to go on tv and bash homosexuals which is exactly like a lot of politicians who purport to be as honest as the driven snow when they are anything but. And as far as the affect it might have on Tasha's hearing, I don't think it will make one bit of difference. In order to understand why I say that you would have to have been in the service and have witnessed the discrimination first hand like I did for 20 years. One last thing. I don't believe Tasha actually broke up with Alice. I know she was angry with Alice but that doesn't mean that they broke up. All we can do is wait and see what happens in the next episode or two. 1 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |
