"Hate doesn't deserve a spotlight....truth does, & the truth is that God is Love," said Ms. Clarkson. "Love shared between two people should be praised not condemned," she finished.

Clarkson has had several gay couples get engaged during her events Back in 2017, she became a co-conspirator (lol) for a surprise proposal from a gay fan to his boyfriend:
And a couple who were featured in her music video for 'Heartbeat Song' got engaged on set:
Ms. Clarkson stands in support of love. "Fans are fans, and no matter what our lives are like, no matter what path we're on, music is the one thing that connects us," she says.
