Many are speculating the reason for her new body art is to show her support for gay rights.

It doesn't. GOD is the only judge, honey. God is love."

But the singer-actress was alright with those who didn't agree with her viewpoint. "Everyone is entitled to their opinions," she said, adding: "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for everything."
