Carrie Underwood Supports Same-Sex Marriage

June 11, 2012 Hot Topics

Country superstar Carrie Underwood is pro gay marriage.
 
"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 said in an interview with 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."

The 29-year-old singer, who is married to hockey player Mike Fisher, has entered the debate as pro-same-sex marriage, along with President Barack Obama, who also endorsed gay marriage.
 
Underwood, who was brought up Baptist, is basing her feelings on her Christian values. She and Fisher attend a non-denominational congregation.

"Our church is gay friendly," she explained. "Above all, God wanted us to love others. It's not about setting rules, or ‘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."

disappointed in Carrie. I thinks stardom has blinded her upbringing values. Use to think she was beautiful inside and out. Now she only has the outside beauty.

Its so nice when Christians send wrong message about God and misrepresent Him but sadly its rare these days , for me at least . God is not about loving sin but the devil in hell sure is ! To say God wanted us to love others never meant or will mean anything that promotes this sinful lifestyle ! Straight couples who live together and not married Is also a sinful lifestyle

Satan is the father of lies and master perverter of the truth !

As a Christian in the public eye Carrie needs to take a stand not go with the flow
Yes love gay people but certainly not ever imply God is somehow for same sex marriage
He's not and yeah they are rules ! Not religions but Gods

Sodom and Gamorrah was wiped out by God and hello the word sodomy comes from that town !

Dissapointed Carrie !

Sorry, you need to re-read your Bible. I would recomend a word search on "abomination" and "Sodom." Then look up every time God sanctioned a marriage, it was a man and woman, nothing else. Sexual perversion will rise and fall in popluarity , but it will always be just that, a perversion. Any moron can understand that the plumbing isn't compatable. Go ask any doctor about the health risks associated with anal sex and promiscuity.
