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.”

Ok, I have changed my mind, I am now in favour of same sex marriage. Does that mean I am no longer a "homophobic asshole in a rampage against equality"?
Just like my grandma agreed with blacks and the civil rights movement to make them equal, yet she still says racist stuff all the time.
and yes, if you realise that equality is better than inequality and change your mind accordingly, you are now one step closer to not being an total asshole. congratulations.
And does his new position now make him not anti gay? Yes or no?
I said opposing same sex marriage does not make you anti gay. That's my, as you describe it, "bigoted opinion".
I then asked you, is Obama anti gay because he said his opinion is marriage between a man and a woman?
So that's where Obama comes in... I brought him in. You can answer or not?
personally, i think both. bye now
One from the lunatic me and one from the troll me.
