Elisabeth Hasselbeck: Melissa Etheridge Changed My Mind On Gay Marriage

The View’s Elisabeth Hasselbeck has said that her change of heart over gay marriage came about following a dinner with the lesbian singer Melissa Etheridge.

Saying that she’d spent hours discussing the issue with Etheridge, she then when on to say that anyone who thinks they are against gay marriage should actively try to talk to someone who has either been in a same sex marriage, or wants to have one and then see how they feel about the issue:

“I think there are a lot of, maybe, conservatives out there who are talking about gay marriage and not necessarily with someone who wants to have gay marriage or has been in a gay marriage,”

“You know, I had Melissa Etheridge over, we had dinner, we talked for hours about gay marriage, and I would really challenge people: Get out there. Instead of just talking about it and hating on it, actually talk to someone who’s loved someone else and have the conversation about what can be done.”
