Is she still anti-gay?

I also believe it to that day that Donna Summer lost her mind back in the early 80's and made those remarks. This was a fatal error since most of her(male) fans were/are actually gay. It's been a while and I think we should leave her alone with this "rumour". Gay people love her anyway and she loves them too (eventhough in the christian believe being gay is against God).

Summer addresses this rumour and the libel case she won against the publication "New York Magazine" in her autobiography "Ordinary Girl". As I recall, the defendant (the writer) had no proof whatsoever that she had said such things (no audio, no video, no handwritten notes, etc) and she won.

she was never anti-gay. one of her staffers put that story about her in The Advocate and Donna fired that staffer and I believe she sued The Advocate for slander.
something similar happened to Gloria Gaynor around the same time. -

in 1989 Summer told The Advocate magazine that "a couple of the people I write with are gay, and they have been ever since I met them. What people want to do with their bodies is their personal preference." A couple of years later, she filed a lawsuit against New York magazine when it reprinted the rumours as fact just as she was about to release her album Mistaken Identity in 1991. According to a Biography television program dedicated to Summer in which she participated in 1995, the lawsuit was settled out of court though neither side was able to divulge any details
