Is that's the episode in which, Blanche's brother announced he was GAY to his sister, am I right?

[Willjk89]

I'm not sure but I think the storyline had something to do with fur.

[CultCraze]

I LOVE YOU, MY GIRLS!

Goodbye Bea, the world just won't be the same without you.

@mybigredlip No way!!

@tyleringenue I dont think animals are trapped now a days. They are usually kept in fur farms. Thank you for this comment though. I'm not the person who goes out of there way to find rare pelts to wear. When I see something with fur and i like it, i buy it. But thats it.I dont even have alot of it and the ones I wear are dear to me. I have a grandma's mink and sable which she gave me and they're beautiful. Would you throw away a gift from a love one?

@mar88ia shes a fur wearer, so shes not in this.

[tyleringenue]

My Dear, mybigredlip, how is it a "principle", to wear fur? Are you a "principled proponent" of once free beautiful animals, to be hunted, trapped, stolen from their murdered mother, traumatized BEYOND what is knowable. To be imprisoned, immobilized, abused, fed against their will , body's need or want, destroyed, Forced Hormones, FORCED PSYCHIATRIC DRUGS and when they are, "RIPE" often Skinned ALIVE b/c it is faster w/ small animals like Chinchillas.

[tyleringenue]

Is this one of your "PRINCIPLES" that you so strongly believe in? SADISM, VIVISECTION, CRUELTY, TORTURE, MURDER OF AN INNOCENT ANIMAL? Tragically ABUSED PERSONS, are the majority of those who CONTINUE TO ABUSE, It is all they know.

[tyleringenue]

Often in shameful secret.. Until they are found out or hopefully get therapeutic help and STOP THE CYCLE OF ABUSE.This is the cultural understanding of what the FUR INDUSTRY is truly about. Those who wear fur , are associated IMMEDIATELY with this sad example of our mentally-un-well, victimized and ethically VOIDED species that the Human race has become, but CAN CHANGE..

[tyleringenue]

I am sure, mybigredlip, that you are not a person like this? Nor should you be stigmatized by this association. If you find yourself experiencing any of the negative thoughts & feelings that I have described, there is therapeutic help (in many modalities that are scientifically proven to be beneficial.) in almost every economic level, or free. My prayers are with you, Dear mybigredlip, BLESSED BE-

[mybigredlip]

I am so sorry cast of golden girls, I am a devoted fan and I love every single one of you. BUT I am a proud wearer of fur and I will not stop. It is me, my style, and my personality. Regardless, I love you all and hope you do not shake your head in shame for me sticking up to my principles.

@wendyglowworm I thought the same thing when I saw the end of this video.
