Amy Grant on Homophobic Criticism Over Niece's Same-Sex Wedding: 'I Love Those Brides'
People ^ | January 16, 2023 | Brenton Blanchet and Topher Gauk-Roger

Amy Grant loves her family, and she's making that very clear.

The Grammy Award winner, 62, is opening up about her decision to host her niece's same-sex wedding and how she's been navigating the varying feedback that's come as a result.

"I never chase any of those rabbits down the rabbit hole," Grant told PEOPLE of social media responses — both good and bad. "I love my family, I love those brides. They're wonderful, our family is better, and you should be able to be who you are with your family, and be loved by them."

The wedding came to be when Grant offered her farm for the ceremony — the same place where she and husband Vince Gill got married in 2000. Gill and Grant will celebrate 23 years of marriage in March.

"I own a farm that I bought back in the '90s and they were just looking for a beautiful place to get married," she tells PEOPLE at the Music Center in Los Angeles for an event honoring Jerry Moss on Saturday. "So, she and Sam got married on the same hillside where Vince and I got married."

I like pointing fingers at those Homos, and we need to keep the the focus on them. If we stray off into other areas dealing with sinful nature, I may find fingers pointed at me. Who wants that? Keep those fingers pointed over their way guys.

See The Return of the Gods by Jonathan Cahn.

It's apparent that Amy Grant's Christianity is not Bible-deep, but her homage to the demonic gods of antiquity is.

I can remember in the 70’s when Amy started singing “Christian rock” that she wasn’t what she seemed to be

Most of the tine, that’s true, but there were a few good Christian bands.

Not Amy Grant, though.

In general, I find that “Christian rock” is neither Christian nor rock. Or at least not very good examples of either thing :)

Exactly. I tell people that...

I am a Homomismiac. I am disgusted by homosexuality.

Homomismia is what we have, NOT "homophobia".

That is how we counter these "accusations" of "fear".
Because the accusers are lying. We are Disgusted not "fearful".

Yes and True Love is NOT lust.

Love is about serving another human being and wanting only
the best for them.

Homosexuality is NOT the best for any human being.
Homosexuality is Lust combined w/ deception from Satan.

Homosexuality is Pride that chooses to Deny GOD'S PLAN and make one-self their own "god" of their life..

Homosexuality will Always fail someone and keep them away from TRUE LOVE and
lost in deceptive Lust.

She’s a fackin’ koont.

There’s a story about her below, continue at your own risk.

A guy who knifed me at work while claiming to be a super christian met his wife through her. (They were both going to Belmont University in Nashville, and were out posting fliers for Amy Grant’s upcoming concert).

All I ever heard from him was how good and godly, and pure she was. She was such a great Christian. Then, the story comes out that her and Gary Chapman lived next door to Vince Gill, and she had been making house calls to Vince’s house. Then, she divorces Gary, and marries Vince. I LMFAO to his face about it. His justification? “Well, Gary was doing it too..” Yeah, but HE wasn’t promoting himself as the super-christian performer. So, this is just more proof that her persona was all BS.
