NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Toby Keith says gay marriage doesn't bother him and trying to stop it wastes time and money.
The country superstar tells "CMT Insider" airing Saturday on CMT that he doesn't see the reason behind getting into people's personal lives. He says refusing a marriage license to people because they are gay won't stop them from living together, so it accomplishes nothing.
Keith also weighed in on the military's now-repealed "don't ask, don't tell" policy that banned gays serving openly in uniform. He says that anyone with the training and passion should have the right to defend the country, adding: "Somebody's sexual preference is, like, who cares?"

I assumed Toby was a liberal when he included the “COEXIST” bumper sticker in one of his music videos, and after Willie Nelson told a booing audience (Willie was introducing Toby onto the stage) that he[Toby], “...is one of us”, as he hoped the audience would stop.
Incidentally, the “COEXIST” bumpers sticker is the most moronic vehicle accessory I have yet to read. After all, aren’t these drivers “coexisting” by simply being on the road with other travelers? “Coexisting” with who, or what?
And don’t forget self-described Blue Dog Democrat Tim McGraw. But he’s a crappy country singer, so maybe he doesn’t count.
And even yet, if this was all there was to it, it would be voluntary. We could be as free to greet the message with raspberries as with adoration.
However, “gay marriage” a la New York is a recognition compulsory upon everybody else. And the lapse of DADT is an open invitation to sexual harassment.
You’ve had too much Jagermeister, Mr. Keith.
“Definately not a liberal like some of the other country singers...jmho”
In an article about Toby:
“Toby Keith, perhaps best known to non-country audiences for his post-Sept. 11 song “Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,” says he’s a Democrat, and was impressed by the senator from Illinois.
Quoting Toby:
“So as far as leadership and patriotism goes, I think it’s really important that those things have to take place. And I think he’s the best Democratic candidate we’ve had since Bill Clinton. And that’s coming from a Democrat.”
If you’re voting for Obama, you’re a liberal as liberal can be.
If you choose to support Toby because you enjoy his music, it’s your American freedom to do so. There still remains some level of liberty in this country, and I’m grateful for that.
What's moronic about it? heh heh...
Yep, watched his performance here at one of the FOB’s. He also lets military men and women eat and drink at his restaurant chain for free. Told us, after looking at his accounts, us “bastards” have been taking him up on it...lol. One of the good guys that support the military by being in and out of the war zones continuously since the beginning.

“If youre voting for Obama, youre a liberal as liberal can be.”
Indeed. Now, I’m waiting for him to apologize for Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue since the average liberal would see that as an “Islamophobic” song.
If youre voting for Obama, youre as IGNORANT liberal as A liberal can be.
FIXED!
.....as the opening act for Murph and the Magic Tones.
...with the killer amps with shag covers...
old Toby should ask some of the troops he puts on USO shows for what THEY think about gays in the Mil .....he would get an ear full
I was asking a young Marine what he thought about the appeal of DADT , about a year ago . He told me this : “ When they let me billet with female Marines and they let me shower with female Marines I will be down with no more DADT , until then , FORGET IT!....”
They shoved it down his throat anyway ( no pun intended )
This entire deal was rammed down the throats of the vast majority of STRAIGHT Mil folks . They hate it , but what can they do?
Well I have a few ideas , but America would never be the same thereafter .... Toby hasn’t got a clue . You DO NOT apply CIV social mores to MIL requirements
The guy who was a demi-god on FR when he was critical of the Dixie Chicks. Now under the bus like so many before. It only takes one failed litmus test, no matter how "pure" they were before. Your new wardrobe? Natalie may still have some for sale.
Thanks, Mr. Keith, but I prefer to get my political opinions from someone who knows more than three chords.
HE just became a waste of time and money
Shut up and sing.
First of all, Toby Keith left the Democrat party after seeing Obama in action and is now a registered independent. I am a conservative. I believe the government should stay out of people’s bedrooms. It takes a certain arrogance to get on one’s high horse and play God, determining the right and wrong of a person’s sexual behavior. Do not break the law, do not engage any unwilling person, do not ask others to pay for your behavior, and keep what should be personal and private to yourself We have wasted too much time on ‘bedroom’ issues in this country while bankrupting the treasury. This is a sure-fire way for Republicans to lose any election. It shows them to be sanctimonious and pompous and they always fall on their face when the next Republican strays whether it is Newt Gingrich or Larry Craig. The Democrats make hay with each failing.
Welfare has done more to destroy the nuclear family than any gay rights issues. BTW, I am a straight married female.
I thank all members of our armed forces for their service and could care less who they are sleeping with. I also love Toby Keith’s voice.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

Totally ignoring that the license legitimizes a perversion. While we can't stop them from living together (and nobody with a brain would do that, there is no valid reason to embrace the lifestyle while diluting the moral institution of marriage.
It would be fun if he incorporated that little speech into the opening part of his act.
