No one should have been surprised when Hollywood gave its highest honor to an actor portraying radical homosexual activist Harvey Milk. Nor should anyone have been surprised when Sean Penn accepted his award by declaring: “You commie, homo-loving sons of guns.” Upon accepting the best actor award for his portrayal of the slain San Francisco supervisor and gay rights leader Harvey Milk.
Each year millions of viewers tune it to see the glitz, the glamour, and the best that Hollywood has to offer. And each year — without fail — the Oscars are turned into an advertisement for sodomy.
Penn used his platform to declare “shame” on those who defended marriage by voting for Proposition 8 in California: “For those who saw the signs of hatred as our cars drove in tonight, I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that way of support. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.”
