Kathie Lee Gifford wants the LGBTQ community to stop labeling themselves.
Known as one of Hollywood’s most outspoken Christians, the former co-host of “Live!” with Regis and Kathie Lee” has never hesitated to share his beliefs.
In a recent interview, the conversation turned to his views on queer identity. While emphasizing that she loves everyone, Gifford expressed frustration with the growing list of identifiers.
Kathie Lee Gifford Takes a Hit on Gay Community Headlines
On the March 10 episode of the “Tomi Lahren Is Fearless” podcast, Gifford joined host Tomi Lahren, and their discussion quickly turned to homosexuality.
Lahren referenced an earlier interview in which Shia LaBeouf was asked if the Bible condemned homosexuality.
Gifford, however, told Lahren that Scripture had something to say about it, prompting her to check it out for herself.
When Lahren asked the former talk show host how to balance being a strong Christian while supporting gay rights, Gifford said the answer was simple. “This one is a four-letter word, and it’s called LOVE, love,” she told Lahren.
Gifford added that many of his friends are gay and expressed concern about how queer people identify.
“I don’t even know how many letters there are now. They really need to stop there. We know what you mean, you know?” » said Gifford.
Despite her criticism, Gifford stressed that she doesn’t judge anyone and believes that love should come first.
“I don’t tell anyone how to live their life,” she said. “I never did. I just know what Jesus said: love your neighbor as yourself. Love God first.”
Kathie Lee Gifford called religion restrictive
Although she is a devout Christian and outspoken about her faith, Gifford has controversial views on religion.
The 72-year-old television personality emphasized that faith must be experienced as constant communication with God and has nothing to do with religion.
“It’s not a religion. I’m very anti-religious,” Gifford shared, according to The Blast. “Religion chains people, and Jesus removes them. »
She went further to reject the idea of separating her career from her spiritual mission, saying it is one life that she lives in accordance with God’s blessings and guidance.
Kathie Lee Gifford turns to scripture for guidance
Kathie continued to share her guide, especially when it comes to making difficult decisions or going through times of anxiety.
She says the teachings of the Bible are her compass, bringing clarity to situations where uncertainty might otherwise take over.
“The scripture says: Do not worry about anything. Do not be anxious about anything. I am with you. I will lead you. I will guide you every day of your life,” she said.
So when people ask her how she can be bold in speaking about God, especially in Hollywood, she replies that she doesn’t care what people think.
Kathie Lee Gifford explained how Donald Trump saved her family
While talking about her spiritual beliefs, the media personality also shared her personal experiences. One of those encounters was a frightening encounter with a stalker that Donald Trump stepped in to save her from.
As The Blast previously reported, Gifford remembers traveling to Atlantic City with her daughter when her late husband, Frank Gifford, received a disturbing call from the FBI. Authorities had warned that a “psychopath” murderer and rapist had vowed to target her.
The FBI advised Frank not to change his plans, fearing that the suspect would catch on. However, Frank, wanting Kathie to be safe, contacted Trump.
Trump quickly intervened, arranging for his private helicopter to transport Kathie Lee, her baby and their nanny to safety, while also assigning a team of his personal security guards to protect her.
How Kathie Lee Gifford Experienced a Miraculous Health Recovery
Another personal experience Kathie revealed was a miracle that occurred after a dangerous fall from the stairs of her Tennessee home. According to The Blast, Gifford explained that she rushed up the stairs in the heat to let a friend in when her shoes caused her to fall.
Surprisingly, she felt no pain afterward and had already stopped taking painkillers. However, she was concerned and called her doctor, who ordered an X-ray.
The results stunned them both as his injuries were completely healed. “You’re cured… You’re cured. It’s a miracle,” her doctor told her, even joking that she could enjoy a glass of wine again. Gifford added that medical experts rarely see such miraculous cures.
