When a country star like Toby Keith speaks on LGBT rights issues I cringe before I even hear it. But Keith has given me hope. His opinion on same sex marriage, while not exactly glowing, were still in the direction I want them to be - don't waste time and money fighting same sex marriage rights. And his opinions on DADT were far better still, saying that LGBT soldiers are every bit as entitled to their positions as their straight counterparts.
From the Huffington Post:
The country superstar tells "CMT Insider" airing Saturday on CMT that he doesn't see the reason behind getting into people's personal lives. He says refusing a marriage license to people because they are gay won't stop them from living together, so it accomplishes nothing.
Keith also weighed in on the military's now-repealed "don't ask, don't tell" policy that banned gays serving openly in uniform. He says that anyone with the training and passion should have the right to defend the country, adding: "Somebody's sexual preference is, like, who cares?"
