Actress Charlize Theron is the latest to speak up in support of gay marriage and against the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8!

Says Theron:

"I am deeply disappointed by the Supreme Court's ruling on Prop 8 today. I don't agree with homophobia or discrimination of any kind. I will continue to fight this fight for equality and speak up for the basic civil rights of all Americans."

We agree, continue the fight!

Equality for everyone.

Make your voice heard y'all!

    Classy, beautiful woman

    Perez! She's not a US citizen. Can you at least find someone from the US to "weigh in"? Or how about gays just take their tax dollars to New England and live there. Use "the invisible hand" of the marketplace to sort things. It's the only thing that ever really "talks" to politicians.



  3. 3

    Good for you, Charlize!!! I could not agree more!!!



  4. 4

    Perez, I never thought I'd say this but you've turned into a over-the-top gay rights activist instead of celebrity blogger. I used to come here for the latest gossip and showbiz news. Now, I go elsewhere. I'm much too tired of hearing this stuff minute after minute, day after day. It's a shame, because this used to be a great site.



  5. 5

    Can we some actual gossip ffs



  6. 6

    She is lovely but that mole on her neck is a downer. That's where the eyes go first thing, to that darn mole.



  7. 7

    HOW ABOUT IF YOU GET AMERICANS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ON AMERICAN ISSUES YOU DUMBASS!!!!!



  8. 8

    Lovely, inside and out.



  9. 9

    although I do disagree with the courts



  10. 10

    Um, the voices were heard when Cali voted.



  11. 11

    Charlize you are one of the most beatiful women of the world!

    Love you!!

    SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!! I am close friends with several actors (A-listers) and pop/rock stars and they are very vocal about political issues, elections and so forth. They are also some of the most ignorant people I have ever met. Tell them something and they take it at face value without looking into it themselves. They seriously function like puppets. I am amused at how Perez is making a big deal about celebs backing his cause…by doing that it makes the issue at hand even that more ridiculous. Are we supposed to say, WOW, since Kim Kardashian says YES to gay marraige then it must be the right thing?????? Grow up. You are alienating your fan/peer base by your lack of discretion in this matter.

    Why aren't you giving her shit for not marching?



  15. 15

    I'm glad she's so vocal about civil rights in her native South Africa…*rolls eyes*.



  16. 16

    Re: MadderHaddar – Something tells me A-listers wouldnt hang around a scumbag like you,you are the most homophobic trash online here and you are a disgusting pig,you might drive them around ,or provide security, or cleaning work,but with your posts I just see total redneck low rent trash .



  17. 17

    So sick of hear that if you're against Gay marriage that you're Homophobic. Just not true.



  18. 18

    You're boring the fuck out of us, Mario.



  19. 19

    Thats nice that she sticks up for what she believes in, but i still dont give a shit about what she thinks.



  20. 20

    i heart charlize :)



  21. 21

    LOL As if what Charlize says matters. Only those with a weak mind would think that what a celeb says is important. The majority of Americans outside of Tinseltown don't want gay marriage. Deal with it.



  22. 22

    I still don't get it. Equal rights are for everyone. You can't discriminate. Court makes no sense at all.



  23. 23

    I thought this was a gossip site, not a personal soapbox site. STFU already, nobody cares about you sodomites. 3 time loser, give it a rest already. I think this is the reason that it did not win. Stop shoving it down peoples throats. Remember when Gavin Newsom said it was coming wether we like it or not? That killed your cause and hardened the opposition.



  24. 24

    okay um…Charlize
    •
    enough with the "i support" bullshit
    •
    it's merely an excuse for not wanting to marry
    her oh so sexxxy boyfriend Stuart Townsend
    •
    just because she won an Oscar® playing a dyke
    - does not make her one
    •
    enough already.

    Re: knowitall
    Wow, and the left rears it's ugly head. When all else fails call people names, and just shout them down. Why would anyone get behind a cause that you are advocating? So anyone that disagrees is a scumbag? Way to show your tolerance.



  26. 26

    She's from fucking South Africa?



  27. 27

    Re: Rintendo – Charlize Theron is an American citizen…if you're going to open your pie hole, do some research first.
    And Nobody cares for what celebrities have to say and nobody will support something just because a celebrity supports it. that's true, but they have a right to voice their opinion on issues, and for better and for worse that sends the message that IS OK to be gay, a message many gay kids who get picked on everyday across the nation need to hear. Don't knock her down for promoting love and equality, knock her down the day she says or does something that hurts a whole group of people.



  28. 28

    Re: Frag The Paps – Do you do windows? Are you sure you're going to stop at only 4 kids? Do these kids even know who their dad is? Aren't you way too old and ugly to have such young kids? Do these kids even know who their dad is? You are a great example of ugly in and ugly out,fck off bitch.

    Wow, shes gorgous and smart I love her



  30. 30

    Where are all the celebrities in favor of Prop 8? I haven't heard any celebs speak out in favor of the ban on gay marriage. Bunch of pussies are afraid to speak out against gay marriage!



  31. 31

    Re: Frag The Paps – Are you telling a gay man he can't talk about prop h8 on his own blog,are you insane,are you that much of a clue-less bigoted pig, Hope the karma you deserve finds all of your evil family bitch.



  32. 32

    Re: Frag The Paps – Oh and by the way uneducated lowlife when you call people sodomites in one post you might refrain from lecturing others about name-calling in your next post. Rightwing trash like you are not only the lowest form of bigots but you are all hypocritical trash like rush the drug addict,ann coulter the hard up party girl aging whore at 50 bitch, and larry craig ,senator Bathroom from the white pride state of Idaho. Class act all you disgusting republians are .



  33. 33

    Re: Rintendo – #2 n1



  34. 34

    Re: knowitall
    Holy crap. Are you seriously telling me about karma? Wishing hate on my family, calling me names, calling everyone names. You are some piece of work. Some day you will grow up and move out of mommies basement.



  35. 35

    It doesn't matter where you are from and what your citizenship is, this is a serious matter, and this issue needs all the help it can get. From whomever wants to give, the support shall be greatly received. this is so puzzling! why is there a gay issue in the first place. Homosexuality has been part of nature for thousands of years. Its part of human nature, just like sneezing is. Holy feck the us government is feckered!!! this is so turning me off!

    she is a gorgeous, smart, sexy, talented woman… it's a good things she's for gay marriage… as I wouldn't mind having her for a wife!



  37. 37

    GET OVER IT ALREADY.REAL AMERICA SPOKE…AND IF YOUR LIBERAL CALIFORNIA IS AGAINST YOU PEREZ….WELL ENOUGH SAID…..



  38. 38

    Frag the paps- I wish far worse for your family. Go jump off a bridge you gutter trash FAT baby making twat machine. And come clean my toilet!



  39. 39

    I love u!! charlize….. you are so beautifull
    Equality for everyone…..



  40. 40

    Beautiful words from a beautiful lady. And I agree with her statement 100%!



  41. 41

    Re: Frag The Paps – Shouldn't you be watching your kids instead of arguing on a gossip site? You are the one who attacked others with hate speak…nice way to raise the next generation of compassionate human beings (/insert sarcasm).
    If you did more with your life, besides being a total MOO, you could create your own blog and talk about all the biggoted crap and boring child rearing drivel you like, but this is Perez's Blog, in case you forgot when your brain fell out with the placenta.



  42. 42

    Charlize is nothing short of perfect! She has been championing the gay cause for years! I love her!



  43. 43

    These actors are so lame. They are always doing politics and saying "the right thing", specially in Hollywood town. The thing is at the time of voting, the booth it's close and then, they vote with their heart….I don't beleive none of them-

  44. Damm says – reply to this


    44

    The people of California have voted, twice. Respect democracy whether you agree or not. Things will change as time progresses and as people fight for thier rights, but please, please, don't bypass democracy to do so.



  45. 45

    Re: Spectacular
    Check and mate.



  46. 46

    That didn't sound sincere at all, like her publicist just put that statement out there. I'm not that impressed.



  47. 47

    why gay marriage should be banned:

    www.whatsablog.com

    p.s. it's a joke!



  48. 48

    LISTEN….IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE COURTS RULING……..GO ELSEWHERE. LEAVE CALIFORNIA,OR EVEN LEAVE THIS COUNTRY. SO JUST GET OVER IT,ACCEPT THE COURTS RULINGS,AND SHUT UP!



  49. 49

    Of course celebs support gay marriage, If they didn't support all things gay who would they get to do their makeup, or design their clothes! lol



  50. 50

    isn't she South African?



  51. 51

    Isn't this a law now? What's the point of making a law if you're going to change it every 2 months. What's done is done - people don't want gay marriage. Move to a state that allows civil unions. Obviously Californians don't want gay marriage. Get over it.



  52. 52

    Hhhm, a white South African noising off about discrimination. Charity begins at home ya daft tart.



  53. 53

    Gawd. The U.S. is so effing backward. DECADES behind the rest of the world in tolerance and acceptance on key issues. I would move.



  54. 54

    HELLL YEAHHH!!! WTF IS HTE CALIFORNIA SUPREME COURT THINKING?!?!?! NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN THE CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION SINCE THEIR PREVIOUS RULING SO WHY SHOULDN"T THIS PROPOSITION BE STRUCK DOWN!

    on a side note.. I hear that the lawyers from both sides of BUSH v GORE are teaming up to bring this issue to the Federal Supreme Court.. BAD IDEA.. this supreme court is way to conservative right now.. If this is struck down, it might take some racial discrimination levels of public support to get this stuff through.



  55. 55

    This stupid bitch must be retarded. Anyone who would support immoral, unnatural homosexual behavior is an asshole. And anyone who would support the ridiculous idea of gay marriage must have their head burried so far up their asses that the don't know right from wrong anymore. Go back to your own country you dumb bitch!



  56. 56

    She is hot- you rock girl!
