George Clooney Pissed Off About the Prop. 8 Ruling

PopSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 07:47:41 -0700

George Clooney smiled as he left a sushi dinner with friends in LA last night, but he wasn't happy about what happened earlier in the day regarding the California Supreme Court's upholding Proposition 8. He responded to the ruling, saying, "This just should invigorate people to get it back on the ballot in 2010 and 2012 and every two years until all people are allowed a basic civil right." George has spoken out against the same-sex marriage ban before, and it probably won't be the last we hear of his opinions on the controversial issue.

George Clooney Still Has Facial Hair and Political Opinions

PopSugar — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 10:30:14 -0800

George Clooney was back in LA and back with his mustache out to dinner at Dan Tana's in LA last night. Talk continues to heat up about George coming back to ER for the final season, with Noah Wyle recently hinting that the actor was trying to make it work. For now, George is focusing on bigger issues like speaking out against Proposition 8 recently passing. He said:

"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point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black."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 is just one of the stars proving that their political opinions and involvement don't end with the election. The proposition is still being hotly contested all across the country, and we will see how much of a difference it makes.

Drew Won't Give Up on Prop. 8 Without a Fight

PopSugar — Wed, 27 May 2009 11:30:16 -0700

Drew Barrymore hit the streets of LA yesterday to protest the California Supreme Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8. She took the stage at a rally, saying, "I am who I am because of the people who influenced me growing up, and many of them were gay. No one has any right to tell anyone what makes a family . . . You choose your battles in this world . . . this is something that means everything to me." It's obviously a cause close to Drew's heart, and she was joined for the afternoon of activism by fellow celebs like Pete Wentz, Emmy Rossum, and Kelly Osbourne.
