Carrie Underwood Supports Gay Marriage

Country music has not exactly been gay friendly (just ask Chely Wright!).But Carrie Underwood has just shown to the world that one of the industry’s biggest stars can be in favor of LGBT equality.

“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,” she tells the UK paper The Independent. “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.”

Underwood, whose hits include the single Jesus Take the Wheel, does not believe her pro-gay views are inconsistent with her Christian faith.

“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.”
