He’s long been the subject of rampant tabloid speculation over his sexuality, but George Clooney says he doesn’t mind. Apparently, despite plowing through a slew of hot women, people think Clooney is secretly gay. He has dated a slew of beauties, including Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis, British model Lisa Snowden and currently former WWE wrestles Stacey Keibler.
Just recently, the Oscar-nominated actor has spoken out about the speculation in an interview with U.S. based national gay and lesbian news magazine, The Advocate. The descendants star says that he does not care if people think he is gay define when it comes to his sexuality, because it would be unfair and unkind to his close friends who are homosexual. I think it is funny but the last thing you will ever see him doing is jump up and down, saying that those are lies. He said that it would be unfair and unkind to his good friends in the gay community. He added that he is not going to let anyone make it seem like being gay is a bad thing. Also, he said that his private life is private and he is very happy in it asking who it hurts if someone thinks he is gay. Clooney said that he will be long dead and there will still be people who say that he was gay noting that he does not give a s***.
Clooney, who is also an advocate for gay marriage, says that the current government’s stance on the marriage equality is archaic. According to him, it is always been this albatross that stood out to him as the final leg of the civil rights movement. He said that one day the marriage equality fight will look as archaic as George Wallace standing on the University of Alabama steps keeping James Hood from attending college because he was black. So Clooney said that it is encouraging to know that this too will seem like such a silly argument to their next generation adding that there are even a lot of young conservatives today for whom marriage equality is not an issue. According to him, it always takes government an extra generation to catch up to the people. Clooney’s close pal Brad Pitt has joked in the past about the gay rumours surrounding his friend saying that he would not marry Angelina Jolie until his friend could marry his own partner. Clooney said that Pitt’s joke is effective because it points out the ridiculousness of marriage inequality.
Brad has also joked that he is not getting married until he can legally marry his partner. Pitt said that Clooney has been funny about it, because he knows that the best and most effective way to end marriage inequality is to point out the ridiculousness of it. In the interview he also boasts about his bromance with his Ocean’s Eleven co-star. Clooney said that he do think they have set the bar very high. He adds that people think he and Brad hang out all the time, but the truth is that they see each other very rarely, maybe a couple times a year. According to Clooney, he had a great fun spending time with his friend again over the awards season. Not only do Clooney enjoy Brad as a person and respect his talent but he also love what Brad does on the world. Clooney said that he cannot speak highly enough about how hard he works at making the world better noting that he is very proud to call Brad his friend.
