Charlize Theron support for Gay Marriage
Posted on | June 20, 2009 | 1 Comment
Hollywood actress Charlize Theron is rallying support for the campaign for gay marriage – she’s written an open letter calling for people of all sexual preferences to join in an upcoming demonstration in California. The “Monster” star has teamed up with organisers of the Courage Campaign to draw the crowds at the forthcoming Meet in the Middle for Equality rally in Fresno, a city between Los Angeles and San Francisco, reports Eonline.com.
The California Supreme Court will decide on lawsuits filed against Prop 8, the ballot proposition outlawing same-sex marriage, in the coming weeks. But Theron and activists at the Courage Campaign are planning the rally for the weekend after the ruling is announced – regardless of the court’s decision.
She said, “The battle for equality has to be fought in Middle America – in places like Fresno, California – not just in gay-friendly cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. California’s Central Valley population is far more reflective of national attitudes towards LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) equality – and until we engage the communities of Middle America, we will not achieve full equality in California.”
South African-born Theron has previously compared America’s rules on same-sex marriages to her native country’s past apartheid laws. (WENN)
