I was just wondering if anyone had any leads or ideas as to that. It's a question that's been itching at me for a while. I adore her and the band and it would be pretty heartbreaking for me if I found out she wouldn't support me, you know? I honestly doubt it, but I do really want to know. I've also considered asking her on Twitter but I don't think she answers just anyone...I could only imagine just many people try to talk to her through there, lol

She doesn't usually make public mostof her opinions on anything but music or her own life. I think that she has givens us hints before (MANY hints) that she's Christian, but she doesn't seem to be a conservative one, but I could be wrong. Yet I think she supports. That's just her personality for what we have seen so far, I guess.

She ususally doesn't voice her opinions outside of music and her life, like Himmelslicht said. I'm pretty sure she's a christian, I don't know how involved with religion she is though, she doesn't seem to be the fanatic type at all. I can't imagine her as a homophobe, she doesn't seem to be the full of hate type, I've got the impression that she's ok with everyone regardless of sexual orientation, she gives me this vibe of a positive, laid back person.
I can't find it now, but there was a video from Fallen days where Amy was being interviewed by a little crowd of Ev fans, it was some sort of Q&A session, similar to Yahoo's. A gay girl told her that she was in love with her, that she thought she was the most beautiful woman ever and wanted to marry her. Amy's reaction was like: "damn! I wasn't expecting that", but she didn't get mad or anything, she was only surprised because this girl came out of nowhere and was so direct. Then Amy smiled and joked about it saying how she could be a murderer in her sleep or something like that. She seemed cool with that whole episode. Does someone remember it or has the video of it?

From what I know, Josh (her husband) has two gay brothers. I'm not sure what her stance is, but I'm guessing she is accepting/understanding of it.

I know that video (unless there's another one), I think it was when they were in Canada so either Fuse or Much Music Interview.

I'm sure she's supportive of the LGBT community. I mean... c'mon. The majority of us are either girls or gays. There are some straight dudes in here, but it's rare. Amy doesn't seem like the type of person to alienate a certain type of person. She's pretty progressive. Also, yes, she's Christian, but she doesn't strike me as a practicing Christian (tbh).

I'm sure Danny or Himmelslicht will remember this or can pull it up, but I have a vague memory of Amy being scheduled to perform at an LGBT charity concert hosted by Cyndi Lauper during the Ev3 tour. I remember that she pulled out last minute which you can interpret how you will, but I doubt she would schedule that in if she was in any way homophobic. Ah, found it: www.digitalspy.com/music/news/a437121/cyndi-lauper-to-stage-benefit-for-homeless-in-lgbt-community.htmlEither way, she's just a person with opinions and if those opinions are homophobic, she has the grace not to shove them down people's throats.

Either way i would support Amy's decisions, and opinions. Because there her opinions. but i'm sure she is understanding at the very least.

hangman and jessicawhatsername: I recall discovering that it was actually a different Amy Lee at that performance... does anybody else remember this? There's a jazz artist named Amy Lee. This is one of her albums:

Totally the wrong Amy, but that's still kool. I actually listened to that Amy Lee and enjoyed her music. lol. But as far as Amy (Ev) is concerned, I can't think of any distinctive times she mentioned the lgbt community. Which, sadly, we're really not a super recognizable part of the music industry, yet. But I agree with Danny. I doubt Amy would have any false opinions to state.

I think Amy supports the LGBT community..I mean like Dan said majority of us are girls and gay guys in the fanbase, myself included and proud of it. She may be a Christian but some practicing Christian's are very open minded and excepting. I would love to hear her give an interview about it or maybe even attend some kind of LGBT event in support to be interviewed about it.

I remember the interview where Amy said that she still considers herself a Christian. I'm pretty sure that she said she doesn't go to church on Sundays, but that she still believes in God, and that's why she considers herself a Christian. So I really can't imagine her holding the same negative views that some Christians keep.
I also remember the interview where a bisexual fan said she'd marry Amy if she could. Amy was pretty darn gracious about the whole thing, which also leads me to believe that she's very accepting.
Thinking about the person that Amy seems to be, I really can't see her holding homophobic views. Amy tries to keep her opinions of social issues to herself, probably to keep from alienating people who disagree with her, which is something a homophobic person certainly wouldn't do. I don't know about other people's experiences, but the people I know who are homophobic will proudly let it be known, especially if someone who is LGBTQIA is in the vicinity.
