Kelly Clarkson calls herself a Republican, but this presidential election, she’s putting people before party.
The Texas-raised singer has told sources that she is planning voting for Barack Obama on November 6 because of Mitt Romney‘s anti-gay agenda.
While speaking to the UK’s Daily Star, Clarkson explained:
├óΓé¼┼ôI├óΓé¼Γäóve been reading online about the debates and I├óΓé¼Γäóm probably going to vote for Obama again, even though I├óΓé¼Γäóm a Republican at heart. I can├óΓé¼Γäót support Romney├óΓé¼Γäós policies as I have a lot of gay friends and I don├óΓé¼Γäót think it├óΓé¼Γäós fair they can├óΓé¼Γäót get married.”
That’s not the only issue she supports the President on either. She’s a woman who would like to make her own decisions about her own body, adding:
├óΓé¼┼ôI├óΓé¼Γäóm not a hardcore feminist but we can├óΓé¼Γäót be going back to the 50s.”
Turns out she also appreciates Michelle Obama‘s Let’s Move campaign, which encourages America to eat healthy and exercise. After calling Obama “a great guy,” she continued:
“I’ve met him and I’m a fan of Michelle too. She has been busy promoting better education and healthy diets, which is something we could all use a dose of reality on.”
Sounds like she knows exactly why she’s voting this year. Why are U?
