Carrie Underwood Shows Support for LGBT Community

Posted on by

Carrie UnderwoodCarrie Underwood has revealed she is fully behind the idea that everyone should have the freedom of marriage no matter what sex they belong to. In recent times, several high profile personalities such as rap veteran Jay-Z and reality TV star Snooki have spoken out in support of same-sex marriage and now the American Idol alumni has joined them.

In an interview with British tabloid The Independent, Underwood said: “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. 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.”

It should be noted that the “Inside Your Heaven” crooner has a very sizeable Evangelical Christian fanbase and she herself is also quite religious. In fact, her song “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” in which sings about her Christian faith has been one of her most popular songs.

So why is she supporting a cause that is traditionally considered a very non-Christian matter? The reason is that Underwood believes Christianity isn’t an anti-gay religion at all.

The 29-year-old explained: “Our church is gay friendly. 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.”

Same-sex marriage is expected to be one of the most crucial debating points of the ongoing US presidential race. Republican candidate Mitt Romney recently revealed that he opposes the alternative lifestyle, while the incumbent US President Barack Obama has taken the pro-LGBT stance.

Posted on by

After getting into a car accident yesterday (June 8), Lindsay Lohan has left the hospital and is doing “fine,” but now the other party involved in the crash is speaking out to tell his side of the story.

According to a report from TMZ on Saturday (June 9), James – the driver of the semi-truck – is opening up about the Pacific Coast Highway accident, saying it was all Lindsay’s fault by claiming that Miss Lohan was “flying” down the road while dismissing the “Herbie: Fully Loaded” actress’ claims that he cut her off.

The driver of the 18 wheeler says that it was impossible for him to be the cause of the accident because he was in the right lane before the wreck occurred, adding that he has multiple witnesses to prove his claims.

As previously reported by GossipCenter, the troubled young actress was on her way to work on the PCH on Friday when her Porsche slammed into the tail end of the 18 wheeler. After the accident, LiLo’s rep released a statement explaining that Lohan was “on her way to the set [of Liz & Dick]. She was brought to Santa Monica UCLA hospital as a precaution. She is fine and was released less than two hours later and is already headed back to the set to resume work.”

To hear everything the semi truck driver had to say, check out the video below:
