Fantasia: 'I'm Not Anti-Gay'



Fantasia Barrino caused a firestorm of controversy when she posted a rant referencing gay marriage on her Instagram account. Some fans thought it sounded very anti-gay but the American Idol alum insists she's anything but.

“I Rise ABOVE IT ALL!!! THE WORLD IS GONE MAD. KIDS, THE GOVERMENT, THE church House… Everybody Trying!!!!!!!,” the singer wrote. “It’s a lot that going on that the Bible speaks about we should Not be doing. Weed legal in some places, Gay Marriage Legal BUT YET IM JUDGED!!! Im not doing Nothing for you… My Life!!!!”

Fantasia's rant was a reference to the criticism she's had aimed at her because she began her affair with her baby daddy Antwaun Cook when he was still married. The two became parents just over a year ago.

The angry response brought about a quick statement from Fantasia's management saying she was a strong supporter of "the LGBT community," and Fantasia herself got back into the fray, posting, "I, Fantasia Monique Barrino, don’t judge anyone because I don’t want to be judged. The gay community is one of my largest supporters. I support the gay community as the support me. Bloggers please stop misrepresenting the facts.”

Opposing gay marriage does not make you anti gay. No need to explain shit, Fan.

But when you oppose it, you oppose equality among all. You basically don't want them earning the same rights the heterosexual couples enjoy.

I think Aziz Ansari said it best:

"My whole take on the gay rights issue, particularly gay marriage, is, let’s be honest, if you’re against gay marriage, you just don’t like gay people and you want to stick it to ‘em."

But it does. If you're not anti gay, you have no reason to care if gays can be married.
The whole sanctity of marriage bullshit is as ancient and archaic as everything in the bible.

There's some bitter spinster rage in you. Why you so concerned with gay people anyway?

I see you didn't make a resolution to be a decent human this year. also, fix your fucking icon.

even if it isn't directly anti-gay, it is still indirectly anti-gay. if i fall in love with an immigrant, i cannot grant them citizenship through marriage like a heterosexual couple would be able to. and i'd understand if you said something like "well, why can't they apply and do it themselves?" but the reality is some can't because they were brought here illegally during their childhood and the rest that can might still have to be deported temporarily while their status pends. but the point i'm trying to get across is that it's an avoidable torture for two people who are in love to be separated, when a federal legalization of same-sex marriage could prevent that.

If it doesn't make you anti gay then it at least makes you a condescending asshole. "It's not that I'm anti-you I just oppose your basic civil rights" yeah fuck off

shut up

You're obv too uneducated and too ignorant to argue with. Either you can crawl back into your whole of hate, or you can learn something.

is your dumb stankass kidding me right now
holly_berri 2nd-Jan-2013 12:16 am (UTC)
you seem to have lost your head somewhere up your ass, so let me break it down for you: opposing gay marriage implies that you don't think that gay couples deserve the same rights as straight couples, which in turn implies that you believe in the superiority of heterosexuals over homosexuals.

i.e: you are a homophobic asshole in a rampage against equality. end of story.
rctshack 2nd-Jan-2013 12:31 am (UTC)
yes, and opposing blacks having equal rights didn't make anyone racist right? If you really can't comprehend the nature of of this conversation, then don't talk about it. Stop pretending as if people aren't anti-gay when they don't want them to be equal. You are literally saying what people said in the 60's to black people.

What exactly is your reasoning to opposing gay marriage if it has nothing to do with not agreeing with gays existing?
adam_pally 2nd-Jan-2013 02:09 am (UTC)
Still trying to figure out if your trolling for the attention or just really bored.
coyotesuspect 2nd-Jan-2013 02:24 am (UTC)
oooh you're that racist Chelsea fan who loves JT

lmfao wow huge surprise you're a fucking homophobe as well

yes it does. and you can try derailing to link Obama to this but Obama's actions were anti-gay, even if he was doing it solely to save face from more independent social people.

on top of this, fantasia doesn't have a reason to hide her support for the gays, so she's anti-gay, especially since she's eliciting this in a reaction to people judging her. she's throwing gays under the bus for her own gain and yeah, scapegoating gays is totally anti-gay

now you can fuck right off with how you're going to claim that you know what's anti-gay to ... actual gays lol.
