South African-born actress Charlize Theron says American marriage laws that discriminate against gays and lesbians are "a form of apartheid." Says the Academy Award-winning actress and Dior model:
"I don’t like living in an elitist world, it bothers me. I don’t want to be part of an elitist sexual preference. Maybe it’s because I come from a country where I lived under apartheid. This is a form of apartheid and I don’t want to be a part of that."
Theron has been dating super-hot boyfriend Stuart Townsend for years, and the couple have said in the past that they refused to get married until same-sex marriage was legal in the United States. "My ability to get married is a piece of me that I wish I could give to somebody who it would mean so much to. We should all have the chance. It’s just so caveman, I can’t believe we’re still talking about it."
Unfortunately many Americans are "just so caveman" when it comes to social issues.
You'd better work Charlize. Preach.
