Of the many celebrities in support of Obama, business mogul Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter recently sat down with CNN and shared his support of Obama’s announcement and thoughts of whether the president’s announcement will effect his voting:
ON THE BANNING OF SAME-SEX MARRIAGE:
“I’ve always thought it as something that was still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business. [It] is no different than discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination plain and simple.”
ON WHETHER HE THINKS IT’S GOING TO COST HIM VOTES:
“I think it’s the right thing to do. So whether it cost him votes or not, Again, it’s really not about votes. It’s about people. So whether it cost him votes or not, I think it’s the right thing to do as a human being.”
President Barack Obama wishes all moms a happy Mother’s Day as he reflects on the influence his mother and grandmother had on him, as well as why First Lady Michelle Obama is the best mom he knows.
