YES!
Jason Mraz has spoken up about his support of gay marriage saying recently at the Grammys:
“I’m in the fight for marriage equality. That’s why I’m wearing this pin tonight. I’ve just been doing a couple of different activities and events speaking out as a straight man about civil rights.”
Now he is calling out other famous straight musicians like John Mayer and Kanye West for not doing the same. He explains:
“The more straight people, the better, so big names that cause a stir in the media, like Kanye West and John Mayer. [Mayer’s] recently been very transparent in what he’s been saying or tweeting and I would love to see some more empowering transparency rather than material or self-loathing.
“Same as with Kanye — I feel like he’s such a huge presence that if he really promotes it and says, ‘Listen, you need to do this,’ more people would rally for the cause. The more straight heavy-hitters [that] speak up could really benefit the cause.”
We couldn’t agree more!
What say you, John and Kanye?
