Donna Summer: Gay Groups Against Her In The 80's

Summer's born-again Christian beliefs made her the target of gay advocacy groups in the '80s. She was reported to have made some anti-gay statements and controversial remarks about AIDS during several of her concerts. Some concertgoers reported Summer saying: "It was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." Many of her gay fans, who made up a large portion of her fan base, were livid.

Summer denied making the statements. However, Summer later issued something of an apology. In a statement, Donna claimed: "As a Christian, I have nothing but love for everyone and I recognize it is not my place to judge others."
