Quotables

November 11th, 2008 by Evil Beet


“At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won’t be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black.”

George Clooney, to Ted Casablancas, regarding Prop 8.

Precisely, Mr. Clooney. It’s what I’ve been saying all along. At some point, we’re going to look back on the days when gay marriage was illegal and liken it to the days when interracial marriage was illegal: just plain silly.

    Beet, I don’t come here so that you personally can shove homosexuality down my throat and then have you shove what everyone else says about homosexuality down my throat. Seriously. I’m about to vomit.

  2. Mal says:

    @Get over it: Get over it. Go somewhere else.

  3. Hallie says:

    @Get over it

    Dude, seriously. If you don’t like the gays, you probably shouldn’t be reading gossip blogs.

  4. dpizzle says:

    @ get over it. GO AWAY. You’re beyond annoying. No one is shoving anything down your throat.. although they should.

  5. ThatLisa says:

    Did anyone else get turned on at “shove homosexuality down my throat”?

    no? oh, just me? shoot. ;)

    What an interesting choice of words…..

  6. huh? says:

    And where exactly is it you do go to get things shoved down your throat, GetOverIt?

  7. Miss Mart says:

    Seriously, why does anyone even give a shit about people being gay? And Hallie, you are so right. Who the fuck reads gossip blogs who gives a shit about this stuff, jeez. So Get Over It, go eat your own vomit and leave the rest of us sane people alone, ta muchly.

    I hate when ppl come to a gossip blog and constantly complain about the topics written. Are u getting graded on a term paper based on all of beets entries? is your life being threatened if u dont read it? i highly doubt it.. so stop fucking whining. if u dont like a topic GO TO THE NEXT ONE or dont even bother reading this site! wtf? it takes more energy writing a comment about it then just moving on to the next thing! and just gotta say, LOVE everyone comments back to her!

  9. mireee says:

    Get Over It – this is a personal blog, and the writer can put here whatever she wants to, that’s why this is HER blog. If you want objective information about celebrities, don’t read gossip blogs, read some online magazine, and mainly, stop bitching about the blog’s opinions.
    As for George Clooney, he could be my dad, but I still would do him. Or fall in love with him, he’s seriously perfect.

  10. CS says:

    George has aged so well….. yummmy yummy!

    Get over it…. Screw you

  11. helen says:

    ha thatlisa, you’re my hero

  12. torie says:

    cs, thank you for not making me the first one to comment on george clooney’s insane attractiveness before the issue of gay marriage.
    cause like… FUCK he is so beautiful.
    that said.
    yay marriage, yay love.

  13. jk says:

    Oh, George Clooney. I’ve lusted for you since Facts of Life. You’ve only gotten better with age.

    Intelligent, compassionate, and drop-dead gorgeous.

  14. Poppanna says:

    Oh, George. And he supports gay rights.
    Could this guy be any cooler?

  15. censorthis says:

    i would be willing to be proud of george clooney stepping out with such insightful comments if it were not for the fact that he’s not even willing to step out of the closet himself! when he finally admits he’s gay, these type of comments will be much more powerful.

  16. Maritza says:

    What a pity, George is not aging gracefully.

  17. Monica says:

    Ohh george, george… I wanna have sexual relations with you, baby. Rough sexual relations.

    And, Get over it: go fuck yourself

  18. beebeec says:

    How can he compare skin color, slavery, lack of dignity and rights with sexual preference? Next he will agree to publically wed a goat and declare it’s animal rights to have human relationships.. Oh wait.. um, human bondage with goats seems his cup of tea.

  19. jk says:

    That was a spectacularly stupid post beebeec.

    Kudos!

  20. Indigo says:

    @beebeec

    Keightlynn is that you???

  21. jennatar says:

    beebeec — Clooney can absolutely compare “skin color, slavery, lack of dignity and rights” to the injustice of Prop 8. What’s the connection? Dehumanization and degradation. Case in point? Your comparison of gay married couples to goatfucking.

  22. Hallie says:

    Hahaha, I love how ‘phobes always use the goatfucking analogy.
    People: a goat cannot give consent. Therefore, marrying a goat is illegal and always will be. So don’t worry about it. Seriously, not gonna be a problem.
