Singer Tori Amos was extremely disappointed with voters who pushed through the gay marriage ban in California, saying it went against the teaching of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Amos, whose father is a Methodist minister, insists outlawing same-sex unions is un-Christian and a breach of civil rights and is confused Californian voters passed Prop. 8 on the same day Barack Obama was elected U.S. President.
She tells Attitude magazine, "(I was) extremely disappointed. Well, we go back to this concept of emancipation. The idea of 'We will overcome' from the great Dr. Martin Luther King, was made flesh as Obama was put into the office and yet at the same time another group of people were subjugated by some of those voters.
"A lot of people were saying, 'Well you have to understand that a lot of the voters are Democratic and Christians, the ones that had an issue with rights for the gay community'. And I would say how, in any way, is that the Christian path?"
