Carly Rae Jepsen hopes that her not performing at that Scout Jamboree thing changes things

  • March 15, 2013

carly-rae-jepsen'This Kiss' hitmaker Carly Rae Jepsen's been talking some more about why she cancelled her appear­ance at the National Scout Jamboree following their decision to ban gay Scouts and Scout leaders.

"I mean, it was sort of one of those things that I kind of have my opinions about, and everyone's entitled to their own, but it wasn't neces­sar­ily something that I felt com­fort­able backing once I learned more about it," she mused to MTV.

She also expressed hope that her decision not to sing 'Call Me Maybe' and the other songs on a stage there might help change matters.

"And that being said here's hoping they make the right decision and I'm praying that moves like this will help."

Good old Jeppo.
