Justin Bieber Pint-sized pop sensation Justin Bieber has insinuated he believes being gay is a choice, in an interview with Rolling Stone which reveals his conservative philosophy. When asked what his views on being gay are, Bieber responded: "It's everyone's own decision to do that. It doesn't affect me and shouldn't affect anyone else." However he is not against sex before marriage, saying "I think you should just wait for the person you're … in love with." Bieber is hot on the issue of abortion, saying "I think [an embryo] is a human. It's like killing a baby." He added that while it is "really sad" for a woman to become pregnant after being raped, he claimed that "everything happens for a reason." "I don't know how that would be a reason," he added. "I guess I haven't been in that position, so I wouldn't be able to judge that." Rolling Stone reporter Vanessa Grigoriadis, who came under fire in some quarters for asking the teen about issues like abortion in the first place, defended her line of questioning Thursday on Twitter. “A 16 year old kid, to be 17 in a couple weeks, who has control over a large population should be asked all questions,” she wrote.
