I'm in favor of the family that is based on love and understanding and acceptance of people's difficulties, because I think the family is a microcosm of the community. And a community that doesn't have understanding and doesn't have forgiveness is dysfunctional. I think that these are the kind of laws that are put together by people who can find more in the Bible about homosexuality than they do about loving and forgiving. That's not the Bible I've seen. It must be a different Bible.
People pick and choose what they want with it.
I don't mind people reading the Bible, and I know a lot of people who got great strength from their faith in difficult times from reading the Bible. It's when they use it as a stick to beat other people, or use any sacred text, whether it's the Bible or the Koran or Das Kapital, by Karl Marx. That kind of fundamentalism really gets me going. It's weird to think of people using my lyrics that way, too, you know, to prove a point. No doubt many have.
