Clooney versus Warren

While George Clooney and Rick Warren didn't engage each other directly - maybe someday - they both offer arguments about Prop 8 that put the issue in some historical context. In a Hannity and Colmes interview yesterday, Rick said "..I just am opposed to redefining marriage. For 5,000 years that term, marriage, has represented a man and a woman..." Previously, Pastor Rick made a similar argument and then went on to say,"We should not let 2 percent of the population change the definition of marriage."

At HuffPo, dreamy George offers a different angle on history, "At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue, and everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black."

BC sides with the celebrity movie star over the celebrity pastor on this one. According to Rick's own logic, our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters have been waiting for equal civil rights for 5000 years, we think they've been waiting long enough.
