Tolerance is taught at many levels, be it parents, educators, peers, politicians, religious leaders, athletes and lately, celebrities. When intolerance is handed down to the next generation, it leads to bullying, often ending in tragedy. So it’s especially important when someone from country-music land comes out as pro-gay-marriage—or at least with a “who cares?” attitude.
Country music star Toby Keith (pictured) recently told CMT Insider in an interview, “That whole gay issue thing, that’s never bothered me. I’ve never seen what that affects and [why] anybody should care—and they never do affect me. First of all, we’re going to stop somebody from getting a marriage license because they’re gay? You won’t stop them from living together, so what have you accomplished? Wasting a lot of money here and a lot of time that could be spent working on this deficit that we’re under. I never saw the reasoning behind getting in people’s personal lives.”
