32 year old country singer, Carrie Underwood seen as the good ole’ Christian gal in country music has came out in support of gay marriage.

Underwood was raised in a Baptist church, but now attends a non-denominational congregation, according to E! News.

In an interview with The Independent, Mrs. Underwood said:

“Our church is gay friendly…. Above all, God wanted us to love others. It’s not about setting rules, or [saying] ‘everyone has to be like me’. No. We’re all different. That’s what makes us special. We have to love each other and get on with each other. It’s not up to me to judge anybody.”

A spokesman said that her view on gay marriage may be bothersome to some of her more conservative fans, but said that her younger fans would be more accepting of her stance. He said:

“If you look at younger evangelicals, they are hugely out of step with their parents on this issue. They remain committed to their faith, but don’t see gay rights being in conflict with Christian values. So while her comments are great news, they aren’t necessarily a huge surprise.”
