"Do you want straight or polite? Not that you shouldn’t be able to have both. If I were voting, I just don’t want bullshit. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent.

With songs like "Man! I Feel Like a Woman," Twain has developed quite a following from the LGBTQ community, and has been vocal about her stance on LGBTQ rights and marriage. 。
"I just feel very saddened by any kind of oppression in our society in today's day and age. I mean, it’s so negative," she told Pride Source last year. 。"Equality should be a no-brainer, automatic, all the way around. We need to have mutual respect all the way around. Supremacy of any sort is just poison. I just feel like we’re not above each other in any way and mutual respect and an admiration for an individual's abilities, talents, heart, commitment — I mean, what does that have to do with any minority status that we might be labeled with today, whatever that may be? Certainly, I know that gays feel that."。 Certainly, I know that gays feel that."
