Rufus Wainwright Speaks OUT against Gay Marriage
December 15, 2008 by James Hipps · Leave a Comment
Rufus Wainwright has stated that he is not a supporter of same-sex marriage.
The out, gay singer revealed that he does not think changes to the US constitution relating to sex and marriage should be allowed. What he obviously doesn’t know is that marriage is not mentioned at any point in the U.S. constitution.
However uniformed, he still felt compelled to give an uneducated statement to the NY Press;
“Oddly enough, I’m actually not a huge gay marriage supporter. I personally don’t want to get married but I think that any law or amendment to the constitution that deals with sex and love should just be banned in general. I don’t think any government should encroach on what goes on in the bedroom at all. Frankly, if you want to marry a dog, why don’t you go ahead and marry a dog, I don’t care. I’m a complete Libertarian and so I really disagree with it.”
Well, to each thier own, but I don’t think I’ll be supporting his wallet anymore.

“I’m gay and out and proud, but in saying that I feel that the gay community could be a little more engaged. You can even spell it out. E-N-G-A-Y.”
