In an interview with The Independent, Carrie 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,” she said. “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.”

Carrie’s endorsement is particularly important because a large portion of her fan base is conservative. It should be interesting to see how they react.

      Comes out in support?
      comes out of where, was she hiding in unsupport? I dislike how this title is worded! Should have been “Carrie Underwood Jumps on the Bandwagon to be noticed to a whole new crowd by saying she supports Gay Marriage” I wish theyd leagalize it so everyone would just shut the fuck up and move along! god!

      Underwood may pay a price in the country music world stating how she feels about same sex marriage. I recently saw a female country singer who recently announced that she is gay. She said she has been shunned by her fellow singers.  It seems that some country singers have a code of ethics that everyone else should follow but not themselves. Drinking hard and cheating is acceptable, but not being gay. What is worse: cheating on your mate, something that is controlled by the cheater, or being gay, something the person cannot control?  Holy righteousness does mean talking out of both side of your mouth at the same time. Anyone country singer who says there is no cheating and homosexuals in their musical midst is a bald faced lie. The older singers are the biggest hypocrites of them all.

      Toby keith needs to write a song called “I think dicks are gross, but gays should still be allowed to marry” and solve the whole problem.
