I'm not sure exactly what you're referring to. If she's just thanking them both what's wrong with that as long as she doesn't condone gay marriage.
The problem is when you thank God and sin in the same breath you are calling them similar. If I was to thank God and Satan in the same sentence their is a big problem.

do you have the video because I can't really say much because I don't know the context. That is very true though but I think we all do it at times without knowing. :)

Perhaps she was helped out at some low point in her life by gays showing compassion. Not everything is a sinister plot.

I think she was just thanking God because that is what most people do when they win an award. They always say I thank God. Also she thanked the gays because I think they were her first audience or something.

I usually want to add scripture to my post, but want to go on to next so if you want them I will get them and post them.
as on member posted satan is moving against christianty, but not only us but all man kind. as God has told us that there will come a falling away first, the knowledge and presence of God as we have seen over the years. God, is falling away from this world... and there is nothing we as christians can do about that for " it is written" this is to usher in the antichrist. I am not saying God is leaving us who has and yet have came to him in Christ Jesus.

as we know they removed prayer and God from government, look at t.v now and they have children using language in the movies, that I would have been punished savearly for, they have movies where teenagers are having sex as well as orgies, and homosexual relationships are excepted, these are only to name a few.. we all know it is so much more and soo much bigger things than these are happening in this world. do you see the falling away of God, because when God call his Spirit back to himself, those who don't have it will be left here( with one more chance to repent ) not take the mark of the beast. do not fret when the wicked prospers, saith God. for their end is only distruction.
so I say we are to pray that the lost is saved, this is the stand we take, maybe God want you yo pray for this woman, pray for her to receive the salvation of God that is in Christ Jesus.pray that God will minister to the woman who are considering aborting their unborn babies, lets come together and fight the enemy of the souls of all man, lets pray that God deliverance come to all hear his Word, prepare their hearts and minds to receive Christ as their Lord and saviour.
we can not change the Word of God, but we can use it to help change people to live according to it.
The antichrist is being ushered in and all the signs are truly evidant, as the Word said he will come with signs and lying wonders to deceive many, and God said that because they wanted to believe a lie he will send them strong delusion that will believe a lie. if they want to believe the lie and they know the truth, God will not allow them to believe anything else. in other words; he give them what they want. so all will not receive, but again I say pray for them whom God put on our hearts, and in our lives, weather we know them or not.
WE CAN'T CHANGE THE COURSE OF LIFE THAT HAS BEEN SPOKEN FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD; AND EVERYTHING WE SEE CHANGING TOWARD EVIL, IS SPOKEN OF BY GOD, AND IS GOING TO GET WORSE, BUT GOD SAY WE ARE TO FAINT NOT, FOR MANY HAVE TURNED FROM THE FAITH BECAUSE OF THE EVILS, AND THE LOVE OF MANY HAS WAXED COLD. SO I PRAY WE ALL STAY STRONG IN THE LORD AND BE OF GOOD COURAGE, WE WILL OVERCOME THIS WORLD BECAUSE CHRIST HAS OVERCOME THIS WORLD.

It amazes me anymore what goes on in this world without seeing any Christians protesting about it. Like this Lady Ga Ga incident where she thanks God and gays in the same breath, almost as if she's saying the two are comparably equal. This sickened me because its like saying thanks to God and sin in the same breath. I wish we still had a voice in this world and could take her off the radio.
Here's your chance to stand up for what is right. Sign this:

I already signed it (with my real name of course lol)... "signed, oopsies!" ;)

Don't sweat it, God is a big man and can take care of Himself. He did indeed give us a job, but that isn't to defend him against pop stars.

lol good point!!! I have heard of this person, but I dont know who she is and I have never heard her sing or act or whatever it is she does, so I doubt I would care what she says. However, God is good and he loves us, that is all that matters.

thank you oopsies for showing me that I signed that declaration .I really hate when people say God can defend himself, because are we not called to be a defense of our Father in a world that does not know him. If we just stand by and let anyone proclaim they know God, yet their God is a god of their own making or morals, are we then not letting them demoralize a perfect God and our own family. If someone said something wrong about your family would you stand up. How much more should we for our perfect Father who gave part of himself to die for us when we were still demoralizing him. Let us not let him become part of this worlds morals for his ways are not this worlds.

Are we? I know Jesus gave us a mission, but I'm not sure that was what it was. I thought it was to bring all humankind to Christ by living out His love, not taking our ball and going home when someone says something remotely offensive.

That does not sound like Christ or any of the disciples. Christ stood up and defended himself and God against all who would oppose him not in anger or with violence but with good solid defense as did all the disciples. When Jesus saw the women about to be stoned he could have walked away or when they said he performed miracles through Satan. When Paul saw Peter requiring gentiles to get circumcised he stood up to even his own.When Ananias said that he gave all his money from his house to God Paul could have left it at that. When Jesus saw Gods holy temple being turned into a den for thieves he stood up. When I see someone saying thank you God and gays to a whole group of people I say thats not right.If I was to say thank you to God and pedophiles in the same breath now mind you I am not comparing the two even though sin is sin would you be up in arms. You should be, for God does not condone sin, and to thank God and sin in the same breath is almost blasphemous and if you have seen anything of hers you would know sinister is a good name for her. Her videos are sick and twisted and then she goes and acts like she is thanking God for that filth along with gays like they go hand in hand. So yes we should stand up for God or we might as well sit down and let the devil take over. What do you think God will think if his people are alright with Sin being called Gods work. The disciples were willing to stand up even to death for God and I pray I and my other brothers and sisters will take up their cross in Jesus Christ name amen.

"Standing up" doesn't necessarily mean "taking our ball." :)

God is a big man
I thought The Bible says John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

You speak truth :)

Honestly, G-d CAN take care of Himself. He is not bothered by the actions of man, they will receive their judgment in the end.

Your question was, "Why have we quit standing up for what's right?"

Here's your answer: Because you're too busy not doing the job Yeshua gave you.

Yeah. A good answer is "Because we're too busy whining about Harry Potter, pop-stars, and making sure homosexuals remain second-class citizens."

I agree that our focus should be in spreading the gospel and doing the will of God. But in case you haven't noticed, it is Christians, not homosexuals that have become second class citizens.

What you call "becoming second class citizens" in regards to Christianity is simply the playing field being levelled and everyone being on equal ground.

Even with that, though, Christians are nowhere NEAR being second class citizens in this country.
