Actress Charlize Theron has hit out U.S. gay marriage laws - branding the current regulations "a form of apartheid".

The South African-born star is furious that same-sex unions have not yet been legalised in her adopted country, insisting she will not marry long-term beau Stuart Townsend until the laws are changed.

And the Oscar-winner compares America's rules on same-sex marriages to her native country's past apartheid laws, which segregated whites and non-whites.

She says, "I don't like living in an elitist world, it bothers me. I don't want to be part of an elitist sexual preference. It bothers me, maybe it's because I come from a country where I lived under apartheid but this is a form of apartheid and I don't want to be a part of that.

"My ability to get married is a piece of me that I wish I could give to somebody who it would mean so much to. We should all have the chance. It's just so caveman, I can't believe we're still talking about it."

I think she has a strong point there. We're cutting off a segment of society and banning them from the same rights as the rest of the country.

5. "It's just so caveman" - Awesome!!!

That is one of the best quotes in a long time. :)

Needless to say, thinking of Ms Theron, I am currently staring at infinity in a stupor, mouth half open, drooling on my keyboard... ;)

6. She has *the point* in my humble...

denying an entire group of people equal rights - there's simply no good argument for it. It's so blatantly wrong, and the only thing sustaining this unconstitutional mess is bigotry, plain and simple.

7. Duh.

Of course that's what it is--not identical, but analogous.

8. I loves me some Charlize

3 points

1) Ms. Theron shows real beauty.

2) The right needs some group to hate .... liberals, unions, blacks, educated people, commies, .....
so as to sell their fear and you are under attack crap. Gays are that group now.

3) I am sure Ms. Theron knows that many of those who complain the loudest are real closet cases.
