AMOS SLAMS GAY MARRIAGE BAN

TORI AMOS has blasted voters who pushed through a gay marriage ban in California - because it goes against the teachings of MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
The God hitmaker, whose father is a Methodist minister, insists outlawing same-sex unions is un-Christian and a breach of civil rights.
And she is confused Californian voters passed the Proposition 8 bill - which reversed a previous ruling permitting gay marriage in the state - on the same day Barack Obama was elected U.S. President last year (08).
She tells Attitude magazine, "(I was) extremely disappointed. Well, we go back to this concept of emancipation. The idea of 'We will overcome' from the great Dr. Martin Luther King, was made flesh as Obama was put into the office and yet at the same time another group of people were subjugated by some of those voters.
"A lot of people were saying, '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?"

Thanks for your support, Ms. Amos! I'm going to play, "professional widow," in your honor, now. Be well!
