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.
