HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Larry King might want to consider booking Bruce Springsteen and Carrie Prejean on the same show if he wants some real fireworks.
On Wednesday, the 60-year-old rocker pledged his support for same-sex marriages on the heels of the New Jersey State Senate voting today on the marriage equality bill.
"Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I've been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton," wrote Springsteen on his band's official Web site. "I've long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree with Governor Corzine when he writes that, 'The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is — a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.' I couldn't agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now."
Springsteen's views differ from those of the former beauty queen, who was stripped of her crown in June, two months after she gave an answer opposing gay marriage during the Miss USA pageant.
Last month, Prejean threatened to walk out of an interview on Larry King Live when the host asked about her recent lawsuit settlement with the Miss California USA pageant.
