Singer-songwriter Mary J. Blige
supports the inclusion of gay marriage in the 2012 Democratic
Platform.
The 41-year-old Blige performed at the
Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Before taking the stage, the
multi-platinum recording artist was asked her thoughts on the
platform's nod to gay nuptials by Yetta Kurland, host of the Yetta
Kurland Live! radio show.
“I think it's wonderful,” the
Grammy award-winning singer answered. “I think people that support
love … It's amazing. It's love.” (The video is embedded on this

Blige, who'll appear on the upcoming
third season of the NBC reality talent contest The Voice, in
2007 told gay glossy The Advocate that she supports her gay
fans.
“The majority of my fans are gay.
The majority of them are, and I have to really make sure that they
know I'm paying attention to the fact that they support me, and I
support them,” she
said.
