While NME states that “he is not a supporter of gay marriage,” Wainwright actually has a more laissez-faire attitude about the issue, qualifying his statement with the word “huge.”
When responding to a question about California’s Prop 8 ban on gay marriage, Rufus Wainwright told the NY Press:
“Oddly enough, I’m actually not a huge gay marriage supporter. I personally don’t want to get married but I think that any law or amendment to the constitution that deals with sex and love should just be banned in general. I don’t think any government should encroach on what goes on in the bedroom at all. Frankly, if you want to marry a dog, why don’t you go ahead and marry a dog, I don’t care. I’m a complete libertarian and so I really disagree with it.”
Oh, semantics.
