Post winning the Best Actor Award at this year’s Academy Awards Sean Penn has wasted no time to send a message across to people who are opposed to gay marriage and also those who took to the streets outside the Academy Awards on Sunday to protest against same-sex marriage.
When asked what he would tell the protesters, he responded: “I’d tell them to turn in their hate card and find their better self. It’s very sad in a way, because it’s a demonstration of such emotional cowardice, to be so afraid of extending the same rights to your fellow man as you would want for yourself.”
Well, America is a free country and people have the right to express their own and Sean has the right to say what he feels. The protesters believe it’s a moral issue. It’s not a right until it’s voted a right by the majority of the vote and protesters will always be around for what they believe is right or wrong.
As for Sean’s acting well there are doubts no more that he did a fine job and thankfully the Academy has honoured the right person this time.
