CNN Official Interview: Charlize Theron on why she won't marry

[TheStrii]

Why don't we, as a solution, give gays all the rights that other people have, only we'll call it by different name so as not to offend other people. So instead of being ''married" they will be ''butt buddies''. They will have all the rights and status married people have only they're not married, they're butt buddies! It's genius! :D Everybody's happy! :D

I've been trying to watch this video for a week...and it's said "An error occurred. Please try again later." every time.

[ndrewblood]

The only right that gays do not have is marriage...However they can eat in the same restaurants, they don't have to use seperate bathrooms, they aren't forced to sit in the back of the bus, etc-I believe gays are no different then the rest of us and are entitled to marriage too, BUT DO NOT compare this so called "suffering" to the segregation of blacks-Its offensive and ignorant.

[passion8leader]

Charlize is so Cool. I just love her. :)

[SEALin12]

Ok, so let me get this straight. Every person has equal rights, except for those people in the womb of a woman? Last I check she is pro choice. Just sayin...

[MIA5029]

@SEALin12 im guessing you're talking about abortion? let me explain something: abortion is illegal after a certian point in the pregnancy...when it is legal, what is being aborted is not a fetus, let alone a person....it is a few cells with no heart and no brain..there is no life there....biologically, nothing is being killed because there is no life to begin with. just sayin...

[SEALin12]

@MIA5029 Ok, so what you are telling me is that because the tree that is planted outside my house is sans brain and heart, it is not alive? Did you skip high school biology? Just because something doesn't have a brain or a heart does not mean it is not alive. It still has a purpose, just like my tree. Two cells have fused together their chromosomes thus creating a new being. Who are we to say that being doesn't deserve the right to become someone great?

[MIA5029]

@SEALin12 yes, however, think about it. What if that pregnancy poses a health threat for the mother? What if the mother was raped? Even if she just wasn't being careful, bringing a child into the world that will be neglected and raised improperly is worse than having an abortion. Yes, you may say that the mother should give birth and then have the child be adopted. What if she's a teenager? Life does not begin at conception. There are many studies out there that proves this.

[calaftheeast]

She has money, influence, beauty, fame, success... why would she ever 'need' to get married? She can have a child all on her own with some boyfriend. She can buy her own house, diamond ring, pay her own health insurance. She doesn't need a man and some 'business agreement' to seal her identity in society - which is what marriage is, and has always been, btw.

A business deal between families.

[charcharlotte10]

dam fucking straight! haha charlize says it all! amazing person! ans is absolutely right about gay marriage! <3

[Gitsie007]

Love, LOVE this woman! She is absolutely right about gay marriage. The religious rights' beliefs needs to stay out of the government's policies. It is not their place.  What ever happened to separation church and state?

[12shadal]

@Gitsie007 so if u think Gay marriage should be legal in the whole world then how baby's will born how will you explore the world and take it to the next level this is why God made Men for Women and Women for men that's why God Made Adam for Eve And Eve for Adam That's why God Created So many religions but No religion Says Gay or Lesbian Marriage should be legal think about that my Friend PEACE !

[designerproductions]

Dear drop box: I know it's illegal for 2 people of the same sex to get married- but I'm pretty sure it will never be legal to marry yourself;)

[sekula1999]

mommie mommie momomomomieeeeee, loool mayhem comercial

[ogopanash247]

Liking the Corona Beer sitting on the side! hah

[kristich78]

@Getholdiann Piers asked a specific question about her position on this particular issue. Gay Rights is one of many serious issues; it isn't just about marriage, it's about equal protection under the constitution on a federal and state level. The residue of inequality embodies hatred on severe levels effecting every aspect of peoples' lives. South Africa has established gay rights, however, much needs to be done socially, just like in America. Don't overshadow the cause with petty comparisons.

[blacksncommercials]

@ghostbuster11000 Yeah okay, we'll see.

[blacksncommercials]

@ghostbuster11000 Oh, the old Gay is the new Black arguement, sigh.

[Benwade90]

@blacksncommercials Gay IS the new black. That comparison is 100% valid. People are being deprived of their rights for illegitimate reasons in both cases. It is essentially the same.

[blacksncommercials]

@Benwade90 Until gay people are subjected to slavery the argument is invalid. They cannot compare, it does not illegitimize their struggle, but no comparision makes sense to me.

[Benwade90]

@blacksncommercials Your logic is faulty. The gay rights movement is truly this century's black civil rights movement. Likewise, in the 1950's one could have said that black civil rights was the new women's suffrage. It is nonsensical to say that the two movements cannot be compared simply because women were never enslaved. When certain rights are given to one segment of the population but denied to another, the heart of the movement is always the same, even if the veneer of it is different.

[blacksncommercials]

@Benwade90 Look, I will never agree with calling gay rights the new black civil rights. They have civil rights in common, period, so calling gay the new black and the like is just silly.

[Dtwaine]

@blacksncommercials is marriage a civil right?

[Reine1944]

@Benwade90 Very stupid. There are a lot of disasters going on in the world and the only think Americans can think of id the gay rights.

[egocentric69]

@Reine1944 I think people can be concerned about many things at a time and gay rights are civil rights.

[ailbheonolan]

@Reine1944 You just made their point, that gay rights are not important, gay people are not important. They are second class citizens and should remain so until their is world peace?! It is not the only issue Americans think of, it is one of many and is no less important than any other disaster as their is a suicide epidemic as a result of homophobic bullying

[backto1960]

@Benwade90 yes! gay people are lynched, segregated and regarded as second class citizens because of their skin colour right? stop being an ignorant idiot. Yes! gay people and marginalised and yes! I believe in gay rights but gay is not the new black. Two completely different struggles and it is an abominable insult to both parties to lump them together. Ironic how liberal airheads are always calling conservatives dumb yet you are no different. SMH

[blacksncommercials]

I'm so tired of these celebs with too much time on their hard, and their little causes, fuck them all!!!!

[stone4451]

Government Shouldn't be involved in marriage! Its kinda retarded

[stone4451]

I wanna Bone her!

[amibidhrohi2006]

@stone4451 Fucking retard.

[stone4451]

@amibidhrohi2006 You need to understand where that statement came from!

[stone4451]

@amibidhrohi2006 Classy gal!

[WICKEDMAN9MM]

If you want me to lick it, you better let me stick it...

[jtbpnw]

Interesting how she refers to love as a 'divine' thing (which I'm assuming she's making a reference to God), bu then wants 'religion' to be left out of it.

As the old Indian chief would say... white lady speak with fork tongue.

[amibidhrohi2006]

@jtbpnw Or she's using the term "divine" figuratively. As Yoda would say, "too quick to judge, you are".

[2JOHNNYT]

She wont get marries cause she's an ICE COLD BEEOUTCH - and the only reason why straights were given privilege was that they can give birth to little TAXPAYERS & SOLIDERS - the state does not and never did give a hell WHO YOU LOVE - PLEASE!

[TheFreedomWatch]

Lick it don't stick it!!!!!!!!!!!
