Tori Amos: Gay Marriage Ban is Not Christian

While promoting her forthcoming album Abnormally Attracted to Sin, Tori Amos has spoken out a few times on the issue of gay marriage and specifically on the gay marriage ban caused by the passing of Proposition 8 in California last November. Amos told the UK’s Attitude magazine (via ABC2) that she was “extremely disappointed” that the historic event of President Obama’s election as a realization of the ideas of Dr. Martin Luther King was marred by the subjugation of another group.

“A lot of people were saying,” Amos added. “’Well you have to understand that a lot of the voters are Democratic and Christians, the ones that had an issue with rights for the gay community’. And I would say how, in any way, is that the Christian path?”

In an interview with Spinner in March, Amos said, “in a perfect world, you keep the Democrats out of your bank account and the Republicans out of your bedroom,” adding that claiming the right to control another’s personal life is “the greatest sin of all.”

1. ? I'd like the Dems to be a little more interested
in the security of my bank account. The Republicans hands off non-regulation economy clearly failed. Her Barry Goldwater version of a perfect world would suck too.

2. True that
But would also like to see our government not turning around and bailing out those under-regulated businesses when they fail - 'let the market decide'.

4. ? My experience: It's the Republicans who have cost me, personally, some $20K over the last 8 years.
She's right about keeping Republicans out of your bedroom, though.

And, yes indeed, I consider claiming or assuming the right to control other people's lives as fundamentally Bad.

5. GOP quadruples national debt. Idiots blame DEMs.

6. A twist on the tired old 'tax and spend liberals' slogan.
It is true that taxes are lower when Republicans are in charge, 'conservatives' spend more than Democrats do. And they do it by borrowing money, sending us all further into debt. So if it is good to keep Democrats out of our bank accouts, it is much more important to keep Republicans away from our credit cards.

Democratic Superiority by the Numbers

7. lol, I'll keep the Republicans out of both
My bank account does just fine when Democrats are in control.

Did somebody not pay attention to what happened to their bank account the last 8 years?

Fucking idiots in his goddamn country just never learn.
