Appearing on national broadcast television in Ireland last night, actor Colin Farrell passionately announced his support for the upcoming May referendum to legalize same-sex marriage.
During his statement, he referenced his gay brother who had to travel to Canada to marry his partner.
Via Gay Star News:
'To see them every day live their lives as a happily married couple is an amazing thing, and to think that they had to leave their own country to do that is sad and disappointing and just grossly unfair, I feel,' he said.
Farrell also responded to concerns about gay couples becoming parents.
'It's too easy for heterosexuals to be parents, if you want the truth. It's too easy. There are too many of us who find it too easy to have a kid,' he said.
'Too many parents around the world don't parent their kids, because it was a five-minute thing... and there it is.'
The anti-gay bully campaigner then gave his full support to the national referendum on gay marriage confirmed for May.
'I carry Ireland with me everywhere I go, and I love my country deeply,' he said.
'This is my "coming out of the closet," as it were, publicly and saying that I support this vote with every fiber of my being'
