Clooney Slams Gay Marriage Ban

Share

(Newser) – George Clooney is none too happy with residents of California for passing Proposition 8, reports E! Online. The actor says he looks forward to the day when opponents of gay marriage “will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black.”

If George Clooney starts to teach us morals we are done.. Marriage is between a man and a woman and that is it. Let gays have any other form of unions but they have to leave marriage alone. How about the straight people rights...The people who started the human race, the Man and the Woman...without us there would not be any gays anyway.. And kids? Kids are not for sale, Kids are supposed to be crated by a mother and a father.. Someone should start looking after their rights to have a mother and a father and not to be manipulated that is OK to have 2 mothers or two fathers. This is sick. Reply

Can't we all just get along? Who cares if gays marry??? i'd understand if you were upset if you heard that Straights weren't allowed to marry; But u still get to eat the marriage pie - so enjoy it for yourself and let others eat theirs in peace. Reply
