Carrie Underwood in hot water for supporting gay marriageReported by Glam on Thursday, 21 June 2012 (on June 21, 2012)

Carrie Underwood found herself in trouble with some fans after coming out in support of gay marriage. In an interview with British newspaper The Independent, the country music star said she believes everyone should have the right to love. She went on to say that her church was gay-friendly and that it’s not her job to judge people. Underwood’s comments created a backlash online from those angry with her stance. When asked about it later she said she is all about the music, not politics. “I was asked a difficult question in the last five minutes of an interview and I answered it the best way I knew how, and after that I do what I do and I love making music and I generally try to stay out of any kind of controversy,” she told The Associated Press in an interview on Tuesday. That said, Underwood is a former “American Idol” and Grammy winner who knows what she says will be heard. “The role-model word is really scary to me, because no matter what happens in your life, something you do, wear, say, sing, whatever – somebody somewhere is probably not going to like it too well,” she said. “I just really try hard to do what I do and try to be nice to people and make great music and if people think they can look up to that, that’s wonderful. If not, that’s OK too.” I agree with Carrie completely. Religion (and I’m religious) gets a very bad rap for beingjudgmental. And I don’t believe it’s our job to judge, either. You can do more good just by loving people than you can by judging them. Here are some new pictures of Carrie arriving at an event in London, England. Source, Photos: Fame/Flynet
