She told radio host Yetta Kurland in a video:

"I think it’s wonderful. I think people that support love, it’s amazing. It’s love."

In an interview with The Advocate back in 2007, Mary noted that most of her fan base consists of the lesbian/gay community and that she supports them since they support her.
