'Growing Pains' stars take on anti-gay remarks
Gold, a long-married mom of four, tweeted Sunday, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all." Thicke, after first tweeting Sunday that, "I'll address kirk's comments as soon as I recover from rush limbaugh's," wrote Monday afternoon that he was "getting (Cameron) some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything."
NEW YORK — Tracey Gold and Alan Thicke, who played Kirk Cameron's sister and father on the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains," have joined the chorus of performers taking exception to their castmate's anti-gay comments.

as gay, "I'm going to say, 'There are all sorts of issues we need to wrestle through in our life. Just because you feel one way doesn't mean we should act on everything we feel."
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) immediately responded, calling Cameron "dated" and "out of step." And the remarks sent numerous celebrities to Twitter to vent their feelings.
Roseanne Barr wrote on Sunday, "kirk or kurt or whatever cameron is an accomplice to murder with his hate speech." Debra Messing, acknowledging Cameron's right to his beliefs, said, "I can't be forced to be tolerant of intolerance. I find his words hurtful and 'destructive' — but yes; free speech." "Modern Family" star Jesse Tyler Ferguson wrote, "The only unnatural thing about me being gay is that I had a crush on Kirk Cameron until about 24 hours ago."
As for Morgan, TMZ reported that the talk-show host said Cameron was brave for sticking to what he believes, even if most people find his views to be "antiquated."

Britain's Prince Harry, right, and Olympic sprint champion Usain Bolt run during a mock race in Kingston, Jamaica, Tuesday. The prince is in Jamaica as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, who celebrates 60 years on the throne. His visit comes as the new prime minister, Portia Simpson Miller, has called anew for the severing of ties with the British monarchy.

Prince Harry races during Jamaica visit

Wearing a track suit emblazoned with Jamaica's colors of green, black and gold, the prince got off to a blatant false start and was about 50 meters down the track as Usain Bolt bent over with laughter. The Olympic medalist then jogged up to a grinning Harry, making one of his signature skyward points for a crowd of onlookers at the University of the West Indies in the Jamaican capital.
KINGSTON, Jamaica — It wasn't much of a race, but then it really couldn't have been as the world's fastest man and Britain's Prince Harry met up on a track Tuesday in the Jamaican capital.
Later, the two exchanged pleasantries and talked about running for a small audience, including many athletes. The prince noted Jamaica's international reputation as a track and field powerhouse and said it was impressive for a small nation of nearly 3 million.
Harry then joined Bolt for a few pointing poses to an appreciative crowd.
"Don't go running off to America because you have a clear talent your country needs," he told a group of up-and-coming Jamaican athletes as he sat beside Bolt.
Harry is touring the Caribbean as part of a Diamond Jubilee tour in honor of Queen Elizabeth II as she celebrates 60 years on the throne. The 27-year-old prince, who made earlier stops in the Bahamas and Belize, arrived by private jet and received a 21-gun salute from members of the Jamaica Defense Force.
Harry also met with the new prime minister, Portia Simpson Miller, who repeated her position that Jamaica should sever ties with the British monarchy after a lightearted lunch with Harry and several guests at a 19th-century Georgian-style mansion. Jamaica has been independent from Britain since 1962 but still recognizes the queen of England as the titular head of state.
"This is just another phase in our political history," she told reporters after the lunch, without offering a deadline for a possible change.

Though many older Jamaicans are fond of the woman affectionately known as "Mrs. Queen," pro-republic sentiment on the island has increased in recent years. Simpson Miller said that many Jamaicans were behind
But she stressed that Jamaica would continue to have very close ties with Britain and that she harbored no bad feelings toward the queen.
the move to replace the queen and instead adopt a republican form of government.
"She is so warm. We're all in love with her," she said. Minutes before, she quipped that she was charmed also by Harry, telling reporters: "We might not let him go."
About a decade ago, former Prime Minister P.J. Patterson made a similar call to replace the queen but the effort fizzled amid political bickering. In 2002, Jamaica's Parliament moved to sever ties with its former ruler by changing its oath of allegiance from the queen to the Jamaican constitution.
The change requires a public referendum and amending Jamaica's constitution.
Harry arrived for their lunch in a black Range Rover under heavy security. The two embraced and warmly chatted on the steps of the Devon House mansion, where they ate citrus salad with mango dressing, jerked pork, curried coconut shrimp and Jamaica's Blue Mountain coffee.
In an interview last Thursday with The Associated Press, Simpson Miller said political change is necessary to eliminate the vestiges of colonialism.
"I think the fact that August coming will be 50 years since we have gained our independence, that it's time for us to sever the ties," she had said.
At the track stadium, though, there was nothing but enthusiasm for the prince, especially among the young women in the crowd. Female university students waved enthusiastically and cheered for him, calling for him to come out of his motorcade.
"It's the first time I have ever been this close to royalty." 23-year-old medical student Shikera Fearon said as the prince pulled away.

Limbaugh apologizes for 'slut' comment
Limbaugh
WASHINGTON — Radio host Rush Limbaugh said his apology to the Georgetown law student he called a "slut" was sincere but also joked that he, too, got a busy signal Monday
I ASSOCIATED PRESS
when he called the show to join the growing roster of advertisers abandoning it.
The student, Sandra Fluke, said Limbaugh's apology did nothing to change the corrosive tone of the debate over health care
coverage and that Americans have to decide whether they want to support companies that continue to advertise on his program. AOL on Monday became the eighth advertiser to leave Limbaugh's three-hour show as he sought to stem the exodus of advertisers and fellow conservatives declined to offer him support.
"I should not have used the language I did, and it was wrong," a rarely contrite Limbaugh told listeners.

Fluke, who testified to congressional Democrats in support of their national health care policy that would compel her Jesuit college's health plan to cover her birth control, said she had not heard from Limbaugh directly but signaled she had little interest in speaking with him. She said his criticism of her beliefs was an attack on women's health.
"It is an attempt to silence me," Fluke told ABC's "The View."
Fluke had been invited to testify to a House committee about her school's health care plan, which does not include contraception. Republican lawmakers barred her from testifying during that hearing, but Democrats invited her back and she spoke to the Democratic lawmakers at an unofficial session.
— and many Republican leaders, too — have suggested the issue could energize women to vote for Obama and other Democrats in November.
Sen. John McCain, the GOP's 2008 presidential nominee, told CBS News on Monday that Limbaugh's statements were unacceptable "in every way" and "should be condemned" by people across the political spectrum. Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich said it is "silly" to suggest that Limbaugh speaks for the party.
The issue has been much debated in the presidential race, with Republican candidates particularly criticizing President Barack Obama's requirements on such employers as Catholic hospitals. Democrats
Limbaugh, even as he retreated from his earlier characterization of Fluke as a "slut" and "prostitute," insisted the 30-year-old was trying to "force a religious institution to abandon its principles to meet hers."
