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.”

Girl, I'm with you. I got beyonddddd riled up though and probably spent way too much time that night writing shit to her on her fb to educate her a little bit and she responded with "Why are you even so angry, you're white" .... I haven't had the desire to punch someone in their face this much in a long fucking time. Me mentioning that there were 3 black people and at least a dozen Asian people in my class (I'm studying astrophysics and also, she said quite a lot of racist things about Asian people too) apparently warranted this response, "Okay, Sarah Palin" ... I mean bitch was talking education and using the word "supposedly". Me mentioning this is entirely related and had a point in my argument. Seems like she needs some education too as she clearly missed most of my points and/or didn't read/understand. Just fucked up.

Ugh it's so annoying when people do that "Why do you care about equality? you're white?" like just because you're the same race you're supposed to think exactly like them and always be on their side.

why did she call you sarah palin?

I assume because Palin said something like "One of my best friends is gay!!11" despite being opposed to gay marriage
