Michael Lohan Says He Won't Give Away a Lesbian Bride

Michael Lohan says his Christian background would prevent him from giving his daughter Lindsay to another woman in marriage:

"I haven’t heard anything (about an upcoming wedding) from Lindsay, but if she was marrying Sam, I don’t think she’d ask me to walk her down the aisle. She knows about my (Christian) faith … she just wouldn’t ask. I want her to be happy and healthy and stay on the right path. If I discuss (her relationship), I say that I want her to be happy."

Over the weekend, rumors spread that a marriage between Lohan and Samantha Ronson was possibly in the offing.

Lindsay Lohan Calls Police Chief Outing 'Inappropriate', May Marry

As she and reported girlfriend Samantha Ronson arrived at LAX airport Friday, Lindsay Lohan commented on LAPD police chief William Bratton's remarks that the paparazzi had settled down in the city because Lohan had "gone gay."

Said Lohan: "Police shouldn't get involved in everyone else's business when it comes to their personal life. It's inappropriate."

Meanwhile, take it with a huge grain of salt but rumors erupted over the weekend that the couple is set to marry later this year. A source told UK tabloid News of the World: 'They've been keeping the relationship quiet for months and trying to pass each other off as 'just good friends.' But they've decided it isn't a fling, it's for life - so they want to make their romance public. Dina is still working on the date of the party but it's looking like towards the end of the year.' It is believed the nuptials could take place in November around the same time Lindsay releases her new album 'Spirit In The Dark.' The 22-year-old star has already bought a white Chanel mini-dress for the ceremony, while Samantha - the sister of super-producer Mark Ronson - is toying with the idea of wearing a black suit and top hat. Friends and relatives will attend the special day, with Dina determined to make the event the perfect way to 'welcome Sam into the family.'"

LAPD Chief: Paparazzi Tamed Because Lindsay Lohan is Gay

LAPD Chief William Bratton disrupted his workout to slam a hearing organized by Councilman Dennis Zine over disruptive paparazzi issues in the city. Zine wants new legislation restricting paparazzi activity and Bratton is against it.

Said Bratton to KNBC: "I figured I'd come over and straighten out -- we have no intention of participating in today's hearing. It's a total waste of time. We have sufficent laws on the books that we enforce to deal with this issue. If you notice, since Brittany started wearing clothes and behaving; Paris is out of town not bothering anybody, thank god; and, evidently, Lindsay Lohan has gone gay, we don't seem to have much of an issue. If the ones that attract the paparazzi behave in the first place, like we expect of anybody, that solves about 90 percent of the problem. The rest of it we can deal with. So as far as all this grandstanding and foolishness, waste of city time on this issue -- and the fact that I felt aggravated enough about it to interrupt my workout to come over and set the record straight, LAPD has no intention of participating in this farce."

After all, without the paparazzi how would he stay current on what whose girls are up to?

He’s not very big at all. He wouldn’t hurt a fly. He’s a little sweetheart. I can’t believe this has happened to him. Everybody’s thoughts are with his family. I can’t believe Michael has been attacked because of his sexuality. It’s disgusting.' Friends said Mr Causer lived with his parents in Whiston and has two sisters and an older brother.

Previously, in a long history of anti-gay screeds, Card has said he supports anti-sodomy laws that would criminalize same-sex behavior (though he grants that we shouldn't all be thrown in prison and labeled sex offenders — just enough of us to set an example so that we all go into hiding, living lonely, miserable, fearful lives)."

Dad: Lindsay Lohan Lesbian Romance is Obvious

Responding to photos which surfaced late last week of Lindsay Lohan and DJ Samantha Ronson necking and kissing in Cannes, Lohan's father Michael told Us Weekly that the couple's "[romance] is evident to anyone with half a brain."

And because being gay is such an awful thing, he added, "Just like the [topless] Marilyn Monroe spread, Linds is my daughter and there are just some things a father doesn't want to see or hear, regardless of whether they are true or false. [Lindsay] is a big girl, and she can make her own life choices. Then it is between her and God. Maybe her mother's life revolves around the tabloids and reports, but mine doesn't. I am into setting a good example and doing good things that don't deceive or exploit my kids. But I will say this: While we were a family, you never even saw or heard a negative thing about any of us. But since the separation, look at everything that has happened!"
