Fergilicious: Black Eyed Peas singer, Fergie, pushes Obama for gay marriage equality

“Barack Obama? I think that definitely he gave a different perspective on America from other countries. And I think that on foreign relations, he’s really helped us in terms of that, in the way that people think about America. He’s a very great speaker. We know him — I myself got to go to the White House. They have a beautiful family. I wish they could do more about gay marriages though. That’s my one thing that I want to happen for gay marriages to have equal rights, so I’m pushing for that.”

Fergie (a/k/a Stacy Ann Ferguson) the female lead singer from the hip-hop band The Black Eyed Peas, talking with a reporter from NME at “T In the Park.” Fergie is currently married to Hollywood hunk Josh Duhamel, and previously stated that she is bisexual and has come to realize that having sex with women while in a relationship with a man was also a form of cheating.
