“Our role as artist is more controversial now because there are those, claiming the absolute authority of religion, who detest much of our work as much as they detest most of our politics.

Is God really against gun control and food stamps for poor children?” MeanChildrenArtistChoicesNamesSidesDarkPoorWonderRolesRightsSubjectsGayAuthorityGunDoctorsAbsolutesExtremesFavorsToleranceAbortionGun ControlStampsImmoralPettyControversialDark SideGay RightsInvokeDetestFood StampsPoor Children Author:Barbra Streisand
