Vanessa Carlton Twitter: Tweets & Discussion

Awww, I love her for being such a supporter of LGBT causes.

We could make a different thread in order to stay on topic..but..

If they lose the fight in same sex marriages this time around they should definitely move to strengthen civil unions in every state to have all the rights as marriages in everything except name.  Then later attempt to switch it over to be called marriages, if they can.  THAT would be the smart way to do it in the first place.

Personally, I could care less if they want to get married, but their approach was a bit to much even for me.

How the hell was it a "bit much?" What are we supposed to do to please you "normal" people?

Oh yeah, that's right, kill ourselves and go to hell where we belong.  

And by the way, civil unions are a joke. It's basically fancy words designed to try and trick us into thinking we have rights. This country is such a joke anyway, I can't wait to be done with college and move somewhere else. Probably Canada or somewhere in Europe. If I'm going to be paying taxes, I refuse to be treated like a second-class citizen.

I think I miss-communicated my position.  I'm an atheist so I don't care about the religious part of getting married.  It's a bit much because I'm not fond of what some people might call Liberal Nazis (for lack of a better term.)  I think a lot of people would have taken your side or stayed neutral otherwise.  It's the aggressive nature of the campaign that turned at least some people off.

When I said I don't care if you want to get married, I meant I don't care one way or the other.  It's a mute point to me (meaning I'm neutral.)  Do I want you to have the same rights as everyone else?  The answer would be a resounding "YES".  I don't think you make friends by knocking strangers on the head and telling them you demand this or that.

And no, if you kill yourself you are not going to hell.  There is no such place.

Nothings set in stone..all she did on Twitter back in October say that she MIGHT want to call the album 'Tall Tales For Spring'.  Other than her Twitter post, I don't think shes mentioned it anywhere else...so it's really hard too say. 

Ahh okay, thanks for clearing that up for me

Off-topic, but "Liberal Nazi" sounds a bit like a contradiction in terms.

The battle for same sex marriage will never be lost permanently, we will keep fighting for our rights until the law recognizes them; and in the case of marriage that means that our unions shouldn't have a different name or less benefits than those between a man and a woman.  And this is not the place to discuss this, I didn't mean to start a whole discussion about gay rights, I was just expresing my gratitude to Vanessa for supporting us so oppenly.

Oh, my twitter account is full of media sources so I didn't see her tweet.  She twitted on the 21st of Jan. about the Trevor Project.

Michelle Branch tweeted Vanessa the sweetest tweet last night "@VanessaCarlton I'm in Chicago with Sheryl and Rodney.  Wishing you and Victor were here to play! "

Awwww!

[Arwen]

That's adorable!!

Yeah. I didn't have the heart to tell her that she has more chance of landing on Mars than she does of getting a reply from Vanessa on Twitter. But that was nice of Mrs Branch.

[CelestialHorse]

I guess Vanessa isn't one to reply eh? Heh I love both Michelle and Vanessa. I read their tweets even though I refuse to sign up to Tweet. I'm already on Myspace and Facebook..

I'm on Myspace..don't like Facebook...its almost like an invasion of privacy how they own your photos...i feel like there is more privacy on Myspace and the music aspect of Myspace is 48483883 times better than Facebooks.

She could have sent a private tweet.  We don't know.


But your comment reminded me of a story in the newspaper about a guy who got excited about receiving a one word e-mail from Steve Jobs.  http://www.nytimes.com/2010/03/25/technology/25apple.html
