LOGO’s NewNowNext posted an interview with American Idol winner David Cook on Friday in which he talked about a variety of topics, including Proposition 8 and gay rights:
“You know…I was not able to vote for Prop 8 because I’m not a resident of Los Angeles but I would have loved to have seen it (go) the other way. Human rights is human rights and I don’t really see how sexuality parlays into whether or not you’re a human being. I grew up in a really cool area of the country where tolerance was kind of the norm. I can’t recall at any point in my life ever feeling uncomfortable about sexuality whether it be my own or anyone else’s…It’s an interesting time to be a homosexual in this country. I hope that very soon we get to this point where we look back now, [like] on women’s rights and that struggle in the 20’s – I hope this is another hurdle this country can overcome really quick.”
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP…
