Amy Grant Slams Homophobes Criticizing Her for Niece’s Lesbian Wedding
Christian music icon Amy Grant, who was recently honored as a 2022 Kennedy Center Honor recipient, is making sure everyone knows how much she loves her queer niece.Grant, 62, revealed last year that she was hosting her niece’s wedding to her female fiancé.The first Christian artist to have an album go platinum described her progressive views to The Washington Post: “Jesus, you just narrowed it down to two things: love God and love each other. I mean, hey, that’s pretty simple.” Grant also detailed her reaction when her niece first came out: What a gift to our whole family to just widen the experience of our whole family.Some apparently took offense to Grant being a good aunt, but she wasn't having it."I never chase any of those rabbits down the rabbit hole,” Grant told People in an interview published earlier this week.
