The rumor mill has been running overtime lately about Marie Osmond and her daughter Jessica - after the British tabloid, The Sun, reported that Jessica is a lesbian.

Marie got on the radio Tuesday - an interview with L.A. station KOST-FM - and confirmed the rumors about Jessica, and said (according to The Advocate) they were no big deal:

"You know, on those types of things I'm very supportive. When it comes to marriage, I think that civil rights need to be for all. ... When you start mixing religion into that and beliefs, you know, I do believe in the Bible. My daughter understands my beliefs. And, you know, God said to be married and be productive with your children and, you know, replenish the earth or whatever. She understands those things. My daughter is sharp. And we have a great relationship and I think she would tell you that."

Marie's open-mindedness seems to be a bit at odds with the views of her brother, Donny, who issued a statement opposing gay marriage last December.
