People criticising the result of a vote allowing same-sex marriage in the Republic of Ireland "need to get out more", says Drag Race host RuPaul.

Some have spoken out about the yes vote. A senior Vatican official even said the decision to allow gay and lesbian couples to marry was a "defeat for humanity".

RuPaul finds politics a "snooze", but when asked about people who opposed the referendum's outcome he replied: "Honestly? They need to get out more often and learn to love themselves.

"Our love for ourselves is in direct correlation to how we treat other people.

"There's really only one of us here on this planet.

"I don't want get too metaphysical here - it looks like we're separate but we're actually one thing - so it's important to love yourself and in doing that you'll love other people too."

Despite saying politics was boring, he said of the referendum result: "I love the fact that people are recognising that humanity and humans need love and I'm surprised it's taken so long."

The gospel according to RuPaul

RuPaul's in the UK to promote all seven series of Drag Race being shown on British TV for the first time. Up until now it's only been shown on a subscription streaming service.

If you've not seen the show, RuPaul ends on a positive note, getting his drag queen contestants to say: "Can I get an amen in here?"

Newsbeat asked him for his ingredients for happiness.

"I love laughter, I love music and I love love. I feel kindness is the new cool. It's important to be kind and to approach life with a lovely spirit."

Amen to that.
