Adam Lambert believes gay marriage is a
human rights, not a political or religious, issue.
The 30-year-old Lambert made his
remarks during a performance concert to benefit Marylanders for
Marriage Equality, the group working to uphold a gay marriage law
approved by Maryland lawmakers, held Tuesday at the 9:30 Club in
Washington, D.C.
“The thing I like about Question 6 is
that it is not really about politics at all,” Lambert told
concertgoers. “Yes, you have to vote in order to choose Question
6, but you don't have to be a Republican or a Democrat or either one.
It has nothing to do with the partisan [politics]. It's a human
rights issue.”
“It has nothing to do with what
religion or your moral compass, where it lies. It has nothing to do
with that. I have full respect for everybody's religion. Everybody
has the right to choose whatever religious, spiritual palette that
they want to choose. And that's fine. But if I'm going to respect
that path, you've got to respect my equal rights.” (The video is
