I don’t doubt it at all. She doesn’t have enough sense to keep her mouth shut about her opinion that Christians judging homosexuality to be the sin God says it is, is just as sinful as engaging in homosexuality.

For context, understand that she gave this interview while the nation was having heated arguments over whether Christian bakers should be forced to participate in celebrations of homosexuality, and whether we should be forced to treat these pairings as marriages, equal to holy matrimony. While most of her fans were firmly on the side of Christianity, Dolly came out firmly on the opposite side.

There’s an embedded video at the link.

Billboard: Dollywood attracts lots of church groups, but it has also become a draw for the LGBT community. What does that say about you?

Dolly: It’s a place for entertainment, a place for all families, period. It’s for all that. But as far as the Christians, if people want to pass judgment, they’re already sinning. The sin of judging is just as bad as any other sin they might say somebody else is committing. I try to love everybody.

Billboard: You have a large gay following. To what do you attribute that?

Dolly: They know that I completely love and accept them, as I do all people. I’ve struggled enough in my life to be appreciated and understood. I’ve had to go against all kinds of people through the years just to be myself. I think everybody should be allowed to be who they are, and to love who they love. I don’t think we should be judgmental. Lord, I’ve got enough problems of my own to pass judgment on somebody else.

I’m not really surprised that Dolly probably voted for
Hillary & is probably a Democrat. Our folks all came from
Democrat enclaves from way back. - Dolly is just flat
wrong that we are not to speak out against stuff that is
an abomination to God in BOTH testaments of the Bible.
Perhaps Dolly is rich enough and old enough to do as she
pleases and doesn’t need the few pesos we might throw her
way. - FDR was my father’s commander in chief during WWII;
and it was hard to him to face reality like he had to
during the Carter fiasco. He did, though, and voted Reagan
just once. The Dems kept a steady drumbeat of villifica-
tion towards Reagan & he broke over and voted for the
Democrat second time around. - While I’m not going to
mistreat anybody; I’m still not going to excuse just any
ugly behavior that does harm people in its exercise. I
may pity them; but I’m not going to applaud them in their
perversion. - Dolly’s situation is not the same as mine
& the almighty dollar enters into a lot of her business
decisions. However, running her mouth about being a
Democrat might not serve her bottom line too well with
“rich” Republicans who make up at least half her
potential audience.
