Katy Perry’s Prayer For Gay Marriage: We’ll Look Back “And Shake Our Heads In Disbelief”

I was really happy; I probably went down to West Hollywood and had a shot. I came from a different mindset growing up, and my mind has changed. My viewpoint on all these things—equality for women, the choice to love anyone you want—hopefully, we will look back at this moment and think like we do now concerning other civil rights issues. We’ll just shake our heads in disbelief, saying, ‘Thank God we’ve evolved.’ That would be my prayer for the future.”

—Pop singer and Part of Me star Katy Perry, discussing President Obama’s endorsement of marriage equality, in Parade Magazine.
