However, he claimed that he is secluded to his area right now which he also said is wonderful.Īndrew Garfield's "I am gay man" scandal pi**ed off many people, and Daily Beast thinks that was 2017's dumbest controversy. The 33-year-old actor, though, admitted that he may have an awakening later in his life, which he is willing to explore and thinks will be wonderful. I am a gay man right now just without the physical act-that's all."Īfter probably realizing that he may get into a controversy because of his remarks, Andrew was quick to confirm that he is not gay.
"I mean every single series of RuPaul's Drag Race. "Every Sunday I would have eight friends over and we would just watch Ru," Andrew said. Garfield revealed how he prepared for his role as a gay man. He currently stars as Prior Walter, a young New Yorker living with AIDS, in Angels in America. The Hollywood heartthrob, sort of, came out of the closet during a recent panel discussion about his role. Is this her way of showing support to her former lover who made some members of the LGBT community upset because of his remarks? Randy Lynch writes The Midnight Ride Blog at and is the co-founder of the New Mexico Conservative Activist Network.Just a day after Andrew Garfield claimed that he was a gay man, his ex-girlfriend Emma Stone appeared on the cover of OUT magazine where he made the revelation. One thing that Garfield got absolutely right was, “We are all sacred and we all belong.“ Although I suspect he doesn’t mean “all” in as inclusive manner (both sides of the birth canal) as I do, that’s a column for another day. You’d think that a guy who played Spider-Man would get the responsibility thing. We should also know that, like power, interconnectedness also comes with the responsibility to stand up for the rights of others we don’t agree with while securing our own.
In an interview with Variety, Garfield said, “Graciously give the world to the new generation, to the generation that knows we are all interconnected.” That knowledge isn’t limited to a single generation. Just like no one could tell me that I have to avoid those events because of their beliefs, it’s also not right to force someone to participate, either. My beliefs don’t keep me from taking part, but that’s me. On the other hand, I’ve played for gay weddings and loved it. I’d just rather listen to nails on a chalkboard. and that’s not even on religious grounds. I’ve turned down jobs where they want me to play Techno/House music. The baker’s rights were under attack not the other way around.īeing told ‘no’ doesn’t necessarily constitute discrimination. They tried to govern his actions based on their beliefs. He even provided them with the names of other bakeries that would be more comfortable, but they instead decided to go to the state authorities to either force him to do what they wanted or punish him. His actions were governed based on his beliefs, not the actions of the couple. His religious convictions simply wouldn’t allow him to take part in a same-sex marriage. The fact that they were gay never prevented him from serving them in his shop. The couple who tried to hire him to bake their wedding cake were regular customers. The truth is that, like with most of these cases, the baker, Jack Phillips, wasn’t refusing service to homosexuals or anyone else.
They’re supposed to delve fearlessly into these issues. I’d never expect politicians to handle such a hot potato, but these justices aren’t supposed to be politicians. not an easy issue to deal with, but a vital one nonetheless. The actual issue was protecting religious freedom versus protection from discrimination. That’s likely how it had the support of seven of the nine justices on what should’ve been a much more divisive case. The court’s decision was very narrowly focused and set no real precedence outside of this one specific baker. At least he’s in good company, because the Supreme Court missed that same point.
He was clearly referencing the Supreme Court Masterpiece Cake Shop case, but he clearly missed the point, because that was about constitutional liberties not who could and couldn’t have cake. In his acceptance speech, he commented about how we should “just bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked.” I watched Andrew Garfield at the Tony Awards this weekend.
