Another celebrity joins the side of equal rights, with country superstar Reba McEntire saying that when it comes to the issue of same-sex marriage, people shouldn't judge. Seems like pretty simple advice, albeit one that might challenge some of Reba's listeners. After all, country music fans are far more likely to vote for conservatives than progressives.
McEntire will be interviewed in the upcoming issue of Out Magazine, becoming the second country music star to be featured in the mag (behind Martina McBride). For McEntire, it's a Biblical principle not to judge LGBT folks.
"I just try not to judge. Don't judge me, and I won't judge you. And that's what it says in the Bible -- 'Don't judge.'"
