Focus on the Family Takes Issue w/ Charlize Theron Gay 'Marriage' Comments

[kweerwolf]

Hollywood actress Charlize Theron who stars in the current sci-fi movie Aeon Flux has received criticism for her comments on homosexual 'marriage'. After being dogged by reporters over when she and her boyfriend Stuart Townsend are planning to marry, the actress decided to instead use the question to push for legalization of homosexual "marriage".

Theron told the television entertainment show Extra: "We came up with a new idea that we said that we would get married the day that gays and lesbians can get married - when that right is given to them. We've decided that we're gonna use that in a positive way, so the day that law gets passed then we'll get married."

Focus on the Family spokesperson Carrie Gordon Earll commented on Theron's gay 'marriage' promotion saying, "Its unfortunate when you have someone paid to be an entertainer who doesn't bother to check the research or get her facts straight before she makes comments like this." Earll told LifeSiteNews.com that "If marriage was something really important and sacred to this woman we would think she'd want to make that commitment to someone she's involved with."

Even pro-homosexual 'marriage' activists are troubled by Theron's remarks. In her column on lesbian pop culture, called 'Best. Lesbian. Week. Ever.', Sarah Warn says of Theron's comments, "Nice sentiment, and I don't doubt she supports gay marriage. But the way this is worded, and the fact that she has consistently said she doesn't ever want to marry, makes her statement more like a modern version of 'when unicorns fly' than a show of support."

2. Uhhhhhhhhh

""If marriage was something really important and sacred to this woman we would think she'd want to make that commitment to someone she's involved with."

And yet the argument against gay marriage is taht it somehow demeans the institution. I guess in that case if you really want to be married you would commit to your loved one not caring what other people are doing, as you suggested to Ms Theron.

See FoF, your own argumnet can be applied to your own stupid problem!

3. As you know, it is illegal to hold an opinion contrary to that of FoF

Oh, wait a minute, it's not? Who do these freaks think they are?

Someone should tell them that the Spanish Inquisition is over.

4. FotF should go focus on their own damn families

And quit sticking their noses into everybody else's business, stupid fascist Bible thumping hypocrites.

5. And if marriage realy were "something really important and sacred" to FOTF

they would be trying to pass a Constitutional Amendment to ban divorce and not gay marriage.

They're hypocrites, so of course that won't ever happen.

6. I just love Charlize Theron (and Stuart Townsend, lol)

Her support for gay marriage is brave for someone in an industry (and at a xtian fundie time) where public image is everything. Go Charlize! (She is so beautiful, that even though I'm gay, I couldn't turn her away if it came to that... :D )
