Yes, Perlman knows better... He's a warm-blooded human who believes in love for his fellow men and women. He doesn't claim to speak the word of God (for many do) nor does he claim fame in this public appearance. He speaks as a human and you have to respect that -- God Bless Him, and I can't speak for God on your account...

Perlman is wonderful, and I'm glad he made this message.

Perlman is so awesome

You can't help who you love, He that says otherwise obviously doesn't have any experience in the other man's shoes.

Replace Prop with just a regular H, we have a problem... Itzak, you are awesome!!

[brittanylasch]

Very well spoken, and thank you for leaving God out of it. Families are families. Much love!

God bless you Itzhak. I support you fully. I do not have any gay children, but respect the right of all people to coexist equally under equal protection.

@Nixonfan2011 Even if it isn't biological, why do you concern yourself with the sex someone else is having?

[yanniesaurus]

Itzhak...I LOVE YOU

[jonieheffner]

.....i want Itzak for my father in law!!!! I wonder; are there any more gay daughters in

the Perlman family. No on hate (8).

@Nixonfan2011 You don't need science to tell you the truth about whether sexual preference is a choice. Every HONEST person knows it is NOT a choice. Do you remember choosing your preference? Of course not! I could not possibly choose to desire someone of the same sex, so why should I be stupid enough to believe that a gay person could possibly choose to desire someone of the opposite sex?

@Nixonfan2011 You need to step back and listen to yourself.... even if he supported prop 8 ( which I highly doubt him ever doing) I would still listen to his music.... because music is not about someones ideals or politics... it comes from the soul.
