TAKE A POLL: Larry, Barbra and 'The Normal Heart' Controversy? Whose Side Are You On?

 WIth the long-awaited airing of HBO's "The Normal Heart" set for Sunday, May 25, some eye-popping (and very well-timed) headlines have surfaced, pitting the legendary Larry Kramer against none other than perhaps the greatest gay icon ever, Barbra Streisand (who held the rights to film the 1985 play for years, but never managed to make a movie version).

In short, Kramer accused Babs of finding gay sex "distasteful" while Streisand has vigorously defended herself, saying Kramer "misrepresented my feelings."

So whose side are you taking in this very public scuffle?

Are  you truly happy with your body and how it looks, or do you suffer from body image issues? Do the pressures of looking good get you down or do you have a healthy handle on your own physical self esteem?

POLL: Are You Sad (or Mad) About the Lack of LGBT Protests in Sochi?

In the weeks heading into the Winter Olympics in Sochi, worldwide outrage over anti-gay laws in Russia dominated the news. Would any athlete, delegate or journalist rise up and create an iconic moment in protest of these draconian laws? Not even close.
