Sarah Silverman: "Until Equal Marriage, No Marriage!"
Comedian Sarah Silverman has been running around promoting her new show picked up by the queer TV channel LOGO. In several appearances she has spoken positively of gay people and more specifically marriage equality.
On a recent interview on ABC's The View she said:
"I can not imagine wanting to get married right now at this time in America. If you’re for equal rights, why would you get married right now? It’s like joining a country club that doesn’t allow blacks or Jews. There’s no difference. Why would I wanna join that club? It’s gross.”
Thank Sarah Silverman via Twitter for her affirming public comments.
