Tori Amos has blasted voters who pushed through a gay marriage ban in California - because it goes against the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The hitmaker, whose father is a Methodist minister, insists outlawing same-sex unions is un-Christian and a breach of civil rights.
And she is confused Californian voters passed the Proposition 8 bill - which reversed a previous ruling permitting gay marriage in the state - on the same day Barack Obama was elected U.S. President last year.
She tells Attitude magazine, "(I was) extremely disappointed. Well, we go back to this concept of emancipation. The idea of 'We will overcome' from the great Dr. Martin Luther King, was made flesh as Obama was put into the office and yet at the same time another group of people were subjugated by some of those voters.
"A lot of people were saying, 'Well you have to understand that a lot of the voters are Democratic and Christians, the ones that had an issue with rights for the gay community'. And I would say how, in any way, is that the Christian path?"

Hmmm....why, that would make Tori a racist!
The truth is whatever we want it to be.
another unassailable victim as Coulter puts it. She was raped, therefore, you cannot dispute anything she says or your PRO rape.
Dear Tori, SHUT UP AND SING!!!
Tori Anus cause she looks like one.
Dear Tori, SHUT UP AND DON’T SING!!!
They have a dweam?
“And I would say how, in any way, is that the Christian path?”
Well, Christ Himself might have something to say about marriage from Matthew 19:4-6:
‘4 He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? 6 So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”’
I’ve yet to find any Biblical evidence that Jesus was ever a “gay rights” or “same sex marriage” advocate.
I find only utter arrogance in that remark. You do not speak for me, and for many.
I - and I believe many like me -- are against any special vehicle of law that would condone or permit homosexual relationships. What the heck is a "civil union" except that?
“hitmaker” Her album sales must need a boost.
Hollyweird types always blurt-out something really stupid when their careers/CDs/books/movies are cratering/need a boost from their peers=support group/confused fan base; e.g. fat-tub-of-goo Mikey Moore, Chevy Chase, Kanya West, Babs the Schnoz, Woody H., Suzie and Mr. Sarandon, etc. etc., Rosie O’, almost anyone who has appeared in People or Us magazines, and all the other usual suspects.
Her dad is a Methodist preacher. Give her a break. After all, Methodists teach warm fuzzies for everybody.
Tori should consider hitting the salad bar while she’s at it.
Whether I agree or disagree with their political viewpoints, entertainers should simply remain in that role. “Shut up and sing” work both ways.
Tori Amos is a nutjob.
Loved her music back in the early to mid 90’s, but she is flat out crazy.
Serious, serious blasphemy
Exactly. I always say the homosexuals have exactly the same rights that I have. I am heterosexual and I am not permitted to marry someone of the oposite sex either!

I wonder how people in Africa like the constant propaganda that having black skin is the same thing as 2 guys having anal sex?
Darn it. Thought I had fixed my stupid mistake before it posted :-(
