Melissa Etheridge discusses the end of her gay marriage

”Now I think everybody understands why we’re not together — because we don’t see things the same. You know, those things are so hard to discuss. And she absolutely has a — there’s a blog that she can put her feelings and thoughts, and I respect that…. I have been forthcoming with my relationships. I always thought I was doing something good for the gay community and gay teens.  I know when I was a gay teen, there was no gay couples, there was no gay people.”

Singer Melissa Etheridge about the accusation being made by Tammy Lynn Michaels who she recently broke up with. Ms. Michaels has a blog where she writes in off-color language about many topics including the end of their marriage, where she apparently begged Etheridge to stop saying their break up was mutual.
