The singer-actress, 32, tells PrideSource’s Chris Azzopardi that she faced that type of scrutiny after she appeared on the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards alongside Macklemore and Mary Lambert during a performance of the hit marriage equality anthem, “Same Love.”
“People were like, ‘Is Jennifer trying to tell us something?’ Hey, I wasn’t, but if you wanna think that, it’s all right with me,” she said. “When I got the call [to do that performance], I was like, “Oh my God, I definitely wanna do this. A powerful statement is being made and I wanna be a part of that.”
Nonetheless, Hudson admires “the independence and the confidence” of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.
