Paul Newman on the gays...

" I'm a supporter of gay rights. And not a closet supporter either. From the time I was a kid, I have never been able to understand attacks upon the gay community. There are so many qualities that make up a human being... by the time I get through with all the things that I really admire about people, what they do with their private parts is probably so low on the list that is irrelevant."

- Paul Newman, Oscar winning actor, pasta-making philanthropist, and social activist

Paul was a great supporter of equality and fairness for everyone. Truly a great man and activist for our common good.
... all that wrapped in a very handsome package!

Good for him says I! More people need to think of sexuality this way.

CntryJewell said...

Excellent...he's a celebrity and yet somehow managed to continue being a good, unassuming, upstanding human. Not only that, he's apparently one of the smartest celebrities ever! =)

Michael Rivers said...

This is great! Such a great artist.

Reality Observer said...

Kudos to him. Now if all of Hollywood would rise and rally in support of the common good and lend their voices to what really matters, the world would be a better place. That would be very useful propaganda.

If I was a man, and straight, if Paul Newman had come around, I would have changed my ways right then. Good for him! What a class act!

Ooh, we have not forgotten about the food! The salad dressing, especially pasta sauce -- all good stuff, and yes the company has raised like $250 million for kids charities. This was an honourable activist guy!
