John Rich Tries to Cover Up

Here’s what people do when they say something wrong. They do another interview or release a statement trying to make themselves look good again. But alas, it’s just too late.

John Rich of country music duo Big & Rich recently had an interview with The Tennessean regarding gays and lesbians which was really big on the hate. Here’s what he says now: “My earlier comments on same-sex marriage don’t reflect my full views on the broader issues regarding tolerance and the treatment of gays and lesbians in our society. I apologize for that and wish to state clearly my views. I oppose same-sex marriage because my father and minister brought me up to believe that marriage is an institution for the union of a man and a woman. However, I also believe that intolerance, bigotry and hatred are wrong. People should be judged based on their merits, not on their sexual orientation. We are all children of God and should be valued and respected.”
