Carrie Underwood Supports Gay Marriage
US Magazine ^ | June 11, 2012 | Nicole Eggenberger

Posted on 06/11/2012 3:07:58 PM PDT by Pinkbell

It may come as a surprise to some of her fans, but Carrie Underwood has announced her support for gay marriage.

The devoutly Christian "Jesus, Take the Wheel" country singer spoke out to The Independent on why she believes marriage should be legal for all.

"As a married person myself, I don't know what it's like to be told I can't marry somebody I love, and want to marry," Underwood, 29, explained. "I can't imagine how that must feel. I definitely think we should all have the right to love, and love publicly, the people that we want to love."

The American Idol winner was raised in a Baptist church, but now attends a non-denominational church with her hockey player husband, Mike Fisher.

"Our church is gay friendly," she said. "Above all, God wanted us to love others. It's not about setting rules, or [saying] 'everyone has to be like me'. No. We're all different. That's what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It's not up to me to judge anybody."

And the Christian star from Oklahoma doesn't agree with "people who use the Bible for hate."

"That's not how I would want myself as a Christian to be represented."

My home is for sale...a nice crib with land.....that is all i get....progressive music folks from either coasts

Sad

This ain’t Roy Acuffs row anymore”

Nothing is the way it was in America. I remember in Sept 1976, I moved to West Los Angeles. It was Reagan Country then. A steady influx of east coast liberals have really taken their toll on the western states.

And some ex-spouses are just plain vindictive. He had no money, owned no property, and had no kids.

He has 2 kids with his second wife now and works internationally.

or maybe you and your ilk are just too dumb to understand that homo’s can marry thye have exactly the same rights as us, we cannot marry the same sex nor can we have more than one spuse just like the queers.

It’s time you and your ilk stop your pathetic B/S and lying, as more and more people are getting pissed off with your unnatural sex being shouted out all the time and I might add that it is very unhealthy but hey if you want to die early or get more disease then go ahead but no need to shout you like how you have sex and then demand you should be married because of it.

and yet again you have shown your ignorance.

If you think the founding fathers wanted queers to marry then you need to check yourself in.
As for you wanting special rights then go ahead and get a constitutional amendment and see how that goes for your agenda, ARF

never understood how poeple can find a building then call it a church and then go a head and push a liberal agenda but call it a church where they do it.

‘ve seen many places popping up lately not calling themselves anything but Christian but what they preach is no way Christian

Warhammer 40K.....Aaaaah, the good ol’ days.....If wasn’t for Chairman Obama and his desire to “fundamentally transform” America, I might still be able to play. (Them models ain’t cheap. Sold my army and bought a car.)

There is nothing more fun (except for taunting liberals, perhaps) than having your Chaos Space Marine Army (with the Mark of Chaos Undivided, of course.) wipe the mat with some stupid Ork army and watching your opponent squirm.

Thanks for the pic! Brought back memories of a fun time, long ago, before Chairman Obama’s reign of incompetent terror.

Both believers and unbelievers can be deceived about right and wrong as well as what is wise or foolish. The problem with being deceived is that those who are do not know it. (This is part of the point of my tagline.) I think the main reason many believers fall for liberalism is because it comes disguised with the best of intentions.
