CELEBRI, ANTI-GAY COMMENTS AND THE BACKLASH THAT FOLLOWS

Wh more and more openly gay celebri gracg the stag at the annual award ceremoni, seems that the old fashned views of the lik of Walt Disney and Charlton Hton are buried along wh them.

This is not the se, however, and many the Hollywood ele still like to steal the limelight by ocsnally shockg their terviewers wh some anti-gay sentiments. Not all of the celebri on this list are explicly “anti-gay”, but they have all at some pot ma clear that they are opposed to the marriage of two people of the same sex.

14 CELEBRI WHO DON'T REALLY LIKE GAY PEOPLE

There are many lists out there that claim to have done the same thg, but they ually nfe homophobia wh right-wg views on marriage: the two are not necsarily synonymo. This list is certaly not exhstive – there are many other celebri who have shocked the world wh vrlic ments directed towards gay people - but the celebri on this list are the most proment to openly oppose, what many people nsir, a legimate form of love servg of legal regnn. A rather nfg aspect of Donald Tmp’s posn is that he has been heard fendg the gay-marriage laws of the USA (note that fense of a law is not fense of a prciple).
