Aguilera Slams Gay Marriage Ban
23 August 2006- Christina Aguilera
has attacked the US laws that ban her pal Lance Bass from marrying his gay
partner. The former ‘NSYNC singer recently revealed his sexuality and confessed
to a relationship with AMAZING RACE reality TV star REICHEN LEHMKUHL. Aguilera
was amazed the news made headlines, stating, "I'm shocked that it's a big deal!
I'm shocked that people are shocked." But she is more outraged that, under
California law - and in most US states - Bass and Lehmkuhl couldn't marry.
The newlywed says, "I think it's really
unfair that there has to be some kind of standard for marriage. Marriage should
be about celebrating two people's love for each other. It shouldn't have
anything to do with someone's sexual preference. "Europe is a lot more open when
it comes to sexuality. I think that with the history of European culture, there
is a lot more openness to being provocative. I'm just all about no judgement and
(having) equal rights."
