Charlize Theron Also Won’t Get Married Until We Can

Charlize Theron

Joining a growing list of stars that includes Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and True Blood's Mehcad Brooks, actress Charlize Theron has declared that she won't be marrying her long-time partner Stuart Townsend until gay and lesbian individuals have the same rights. Previously, the South African beauty called US marriage laws a "form of apartheid.

She told the ladies of The View, "I don't want to get married because right now the institution of marriage feels very one-sided, and I want to live in a country where we all have equal rights…I have so many friends who are gay and lesbian and would so badly want to get married, and I wouldn't be able to sleep with myself."

Am I the only one who thinks she slipped in that "sleep with myself" to fuel straight male opponents' fantasies of twin Charlize Therons exploring one another's cooches and thereby coerce them into supporting marriage equality? That would be an interesting strategy, but I doubt any of those guys are watching The View

  1. Yeah it is a correct english in some other parts of the world.
    Why don’t you emphasize in her main agenda to get more support for marriage equality more than just fantasize about the line that you didn’t understand.
    Don’t you think it is disrespecting a person who support your right to marry?

  2. Tresqboy, I was just kidding! I realize that it’s a common expression (that I fully understood), so no disrespect was intended. Beyond supporting our right to marry, I think Charlize is a fantastic actress and outstanding person in general.

  3. as ralfie said above, charlize and stuart made this proclamation long before brad and angelina. i remember thinking that brad had stolen the idea from charlize. ha. either way, kudos to them both.
