Ariana Grande may still need to do some damage control after the infamous Donutgate incident earlier this summer, but that doesn't make her any less of a vocal and inspiring ally for LGBT people.

The pop songstress recently sat down with Ryan Murphy, the gay creator of Scream Queens (the new Fox show she costars in), for an in-depth interview appearing in V Magazine, and she had a handful of quotes that proved her love for her many gay fans and LGBT folks in general.

On her inclusive upbringing:

"I wasn't raised in a household where it was considered abnormal to be gay. So for me to meet people who use the word 'faggot' as an insult, with a derogatory meaning, I can't take it. I don't understand it. It's so foreign to me. I was raised in a household where being gay was like, the most normal thing."

On the gay loved ones in her life, including her older brother Frankie, a reality TV star:

"You know, my brother is gay, all of my best friends are gay. When my brother came out of the closet, it wasn't a big deal for my family. Even my grandpa, who is like, super old-school, was like, Good for you!"

On homophobia and intolerance:

"It's outrageous to me when I see people hate on someone because of their sexuality. I hate the intolerance. I hate the judgment. I hate it so much. Most of my favorite people in my life are gay. It's something I'm super passionate about, because whenever I would see my friends get bullied, or my brother get hurt for his sexuality, I would become a raging lunatic. I would literally become a raging lunatic because I just can't take it. When you see someone you love hurting, for such a superficial, bullshit reason, it's like, how small and spiritually unenlightened and dumb as fuck can a person be? How much further can your head get up your ass that you're actually judging someone as a person based on their sexuality before you even have a conversation with them?"
