Christina AguileraChristina Aguilera was surprised about the media reaction to Lance Bass’s recent public revelation that he’s gay.

She said recently: “I’m shocked that it’s a big deal! I’m shocked that people are shocked.”

She also criticised the current US debate regarding gay marriage: “I think it’s really unfair that there has to be some kind of standard for marriage.”

“Marriage should be about celebrating two people’s love for each other. It shouldn’t have anything to do with someone’s sexual preference.”

“Europe is a lot more open when it comes to sexuality. I think that with the history of European culture, there is a lot more openness to being provocative.”

“I’m just all about no judgement and [having] equal rights.”
