^^She is from South Africa so she certainly has lived WITH it and ...being beautiful and white is more a saving grace here in the good ol USA.

Yes Cat...she lived with it, but she certainly was not a victim of it.

Not being a victim of crime(s) but living with them closely in your personal life also affords a unique viewpoint.

^ I agree...My point was simply that she can't possibly know what it is like to be them...Perhaps I misinterpreted her meaning...In which case...Mea Culp. However, while not a government policy, apartheid exists in America as well, and as a white woman, I can not pretend to understand what black people suffer.

Hollywood911, learn how to spell before you criticize someone else. Just makes you sound stupid. Also, maybe try doing a little research, you idiot.

Asking a bigoted homophobe to do research to wipe their mind clean is a waste of time. Just let them keep exposing themselves for what they are. It's nice to see that the vast majority of our fellow posters are of the right minded variety. And of course by "right" I mean correct.

I do not believe any government in a democratic society has a right to discriminate against its people. For the Moral Majority out there, who are you to judge? To cast the first stone? As a happily married straight woman who is secure in her sexuality I cannot fathom the "threat" of gay marriage, other than making this a better place to live. What could be complained about then? God forbid gays have the right to be human. It all makes me sick, and wonder how these protestors can call themselves "Christian" and condemn their fellow man. I thought only God had the right to do that, and I far as I know, there is only one, and I cannot see Him punishing love and honor, not with the true scary things out there. Live and let live.

Charlize, I'm with you on the issue, frankly gay marriage shouldn't even be an issue. It's freakin' 2009, let those people live and love without the fear of losing their lives. It's just wrong.

I wouldn't mind being under-or over-Charlize right about now!
