Jennifer Hudson is Not a Gay Hater
Yesterday, I posted a quote in which Jennifer Hudson basically said being gay is a sin. She has shot back and swears she’s not a gay hater. She has a lot of gay friends and doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with it.
She said, “In a recent interview, I was asked how I reconciled being a Christian with performing at events for my gay fans. I find it upsetting that some folks equate being a Christian with being intolerant of gay people. That may, unfortunately, be true for some, but it is not true for me. I have talked often of my love and support of the gay community. I have said again and again that it was the gay community that supported me long before and long after American Idol, and kept me working and motivated. It is the gay community that celebrated my voice and my size and my personality long before Dreamgirls. Yes, I was raised Baptist. Yes, I was taught that the Bible has certain views on homosexuality. The Bible also teaches us not to judge. It teaches us to love one another as God loves us all. I love my sister, my two best friends and my director dearly. They happen to be gay. So what? While some search for controversy, I hope that my friends and fans who know me, know where I stand.”
Smart move on her part since 99% of her fans are probably gays. I mean…Dreamgirls? Dreamgays more like it.
