TaraElla, Lady Gaga, the Pope and Gay Marriage

Lady Gaga recently had this to say about the Pope's comments on Gay marriage:

"What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope. … It is not a reflection of all religious people."


And TaraElla had this to say:


"I guess that's correct and very important too. Many Catholics I know of don't have a problem with marriage equality. I guess in religion ultra-conservative elements are given too much airtime sometimes."

TaraElla, as usual, is much more polite, but I guess they are making the same point.

What do you think?

TaraElla Calls on Kelly Clarkson to Support Gay Marriage

Singer-songwriter and self-proclaimed LGBTI ally TaraElla has called on Kelly Clarkson to publicly support gay marriage. In her celebrity blog, she wrote a detailed entry recently about the topic.

"There was a time when I thought Kelly Clarkson would be the first American Idol to endorse gay marriage. After all, she has a lot of gay and lesbian fans from what I know - not something that often happens really because gay men and lesbians often have different music tastes," TaraElla said.

"Some people may think gay marriage is not an important topic, but as I recently wrote in my political column, marriage equality is a human rights issue and therefore arguably more important than any economic issue," TaraElla also said.

TaraElla has always been an avid LGBT rights supporter, even before she became popular with her blog, books and music in recent years. She has publicly supported gay marriage since 2003, according to her website.

TaraElla Says Katy Perry, Kesha and Chris Crocker are Notorious

Here's what she actually said:

"Let's get this right. Katy Perry, Kesha and Chris Crocker are not famous - they are notorious. The difference between being famous and being notorious needs to be maintained. All of these people do have their fans. But so do most notorious people. The key is that they have many more haters than fans, and they are widely known not because of some great attribute, but because of the haters they have and the controversy they cause."

You agree?
