JLo Inspired by Drag Queens and Fine if her Kids are Gay

Pop star sensation Jennifer Lopez appreciates her gay fan base and feels a close connection to the community. She has recently been quoted respecting the opinion of drag queens and tells that she would be accepting if her children grow up to be gay.

Regarding drag queens the singer in an interview with the magazine The Advocate said in an upcoming issue:

"I feel like you can't not think about them. I also think about whether or not they'll want to impersonate me. "I'll be like, 'Is this outfit any good? Would any drag queen want to put this on? No? Then forget it - it's not worth it'" (Star Pulse).

As for whether her kids could turn out being gay:

She explains, "Honestly, it wouldn't bother me at all. I wouldn't be shocked or anything. (Husband) Marc (Anthony) even once asked me, 'What if one of the babies is gay?' I said, 'Who cares?' And he was like, 'Yeah, I know. Who cares?' You just love your kids and want them to be happy" (Star Pulse).

Celebrities are held to a higher standard and are considered icons who maintain a lot of influence. We appreciate JLo speaking up positively about the community.

The Kardashian Family Stands for Marriage Equality

The Kardashian family are a celebrity family with their own reality TV show 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' that airs on E! The family has been in the spotlight for many years, and two of the daughters branched off with their own show called 'Kourtney and Khloé Take Miami'.

The sisters recently posed for the NO H8 campaign photo shoot and proudly say the whole family strongly supports marriage equality.

On Kim Kardashian's blog she states:

EVERYONE should have the right to choose who they marry and that we do have the power to make a difference. What I love about the NOH8 campaign is that it symbolizes more than just people's desires to bring down Prop 8... it's about promoting love in general! Stop the H8, people! (Kim Kardashian).

The family has also been active for LGBT rights in the past. After proposition 8 passed, Kim Kardashian responded to then Miss California Carrie Prejeans anti-gay statement with her own affirming message of equality. Khloé Kardashian has also been outspoken in favor of gay rights, taking on a gay basher on her radio show, and supporting SAVE Dade a South Florida LGBT organization which hosted a Khloé Kardashian crossdresser look alike contest.

Be sure to leave a comment on their NO H8 blog post thanking them.

You can also tweet the sisters @ KimKardashian, KhloeKardashian, KourtneyKardash.

NO H8 Campaign - Photo Project to Repeal Prop 8

The No H8 campaign is a photo project and silent protest created by celebrity photographer Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Barshley in direct response to the passage of proposition 8.

The photos feature people with duct tape on their mouth and No H8 painted or lipsticked onto one cheek. The photos are being used virally as peoples primary photo on social networking sites. The eventual plan is to compile the photos for billboard campaigns and magazine spreads to raise awareness and money to repeal prop 8.
