Kid Rock Risks His Career To Come Out Of The Closet... But Its Not What You Expect Kid Rock is best known for being a hardcore rock star, and because of this, many make the assumption that he is a liberal. Although that is typically the case for anyone who touches Hollywood, it is not the story for the southern rocker, who is actually a Republican with relatively conservative views. I am definitely a Republican on fiscal issues and the military, but I lean to the middle on social issues, Kid said in an interview with The Guardian. I am no fan of abortion, but its not up to a man to tell a woman what to do. As an ordained minister, I dont look forward to marrying gay people, but Im not opposed to it. Further, Kid is not afraid to criticize Barack Obama, and is unafraid of making waves with his fans. I played Barack Obamas inauguration even though I didnt vote for him, he told reporters. I didnt agree with his policies, but there was an exciting sense of change in the air. That promise hasnt been fulfilledthe country is more divided than ever. What do you think? Do you support Kid Rock for vocalizing his true views?
