Kelly Clarkson: 'I think it's silly that we're still talking about gay rights'

Kelly Clarkson admits that she finds it hard to believe that gay rights is still an issue in today's society.

The singer has a large LGBT fanbase and she told Pride Source about her thoughts on the demographic.

The US star said: "I think it's silly that we're still talking about gay rights.

"I just live in this world where people are accepted, so it's very hard for me to even realise that that still exists. It's hard for me to wrap my brain around it."

Speaking meanwhile about her fanbase, Clarkson added:

"I don't ever look at a fan as a gay fan or a lesbian fan or a straight fan - I don't ever look at that. 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."

The former American Idol star meanwhile released her new album 'Piece By Piece' in the UK on Monday (March 2).
