Natalie Portman supports Same Sex Immigration

I have always been impressed with Natalie Portman - from her first movie with Luc Besson to her last movie, V For Vendetta. She is intelligent, beautiful and humble. She is also an activist, going round the world to support micro loans to women in poor countries. Now she has voice her support for same sex immigration, as well as marriage equality, in the latest interview with W Magazine.

The full article can be found here but here's what she said about this issue:

On equality for all in marriage: “I’m into monogamy. But I’m not really into marriage right now. I sort of hate the legal aspect of it. What does the state have to do with it? Why are they making rules that say my lover can stay in the United States if they’re foreign or share my health care benefits because I’m straight—but if you’re gay, you can’t have that?”

Many people don't understand that the fight for marriage equality is not about special rights.... it is in fact about being allowed/given the same rights as straight couples. Something which at 2008, gay people still do not have.

Thank you Natalie!

Al Gore comes out for Gay Marriage

I am glad that Vice President and Nobel Peace Prize Winner Al Gore finally sounds off on his support for Marriage Equality - that's awesome! Now I am just waiting from the rest of the Democratic Presidential Candidate supposed front runner to support this.

Schwarzenegger vetoes gay marriage bill again

Mr Schwarzenegger,

Shame on you!

Hypocrite! "judges should decide?" why, then, do we bother to "elect" in a democratic process Assembly and Senate reps?

... and you know damn good and well that the legislation alters an entirely different area of the family code than that which was modified by prop 22. Your citing the "vote" of the people is simply a shield to deflect justifiable rage from people denied basic human dignity; however, it is far worse than just a defensive shield - it is a weapon of mass destruction of human dignity. By using it as reasoning, you are singularly expanding the hateful and ill written Prop 22. Thus in the same way that you argue that the legislation changes the law, your expansion of the scope of Prop 22 does the same thing in the opposite direction. Shame on you!

You're actions are those of a sad pathetic vile little man.
