Harrison Ford isn't the chattiest celebrity working the press circuit. Never has been. This reporter once met Ford at a White House Correspondents Dinner party and asked him three questions--Ford responded with three one-word answers.
Pepper him with questions about social issues, though, and the man known to millions as Han Solo and/or Indiana Jones gets downright gabby.
Ford, who once had his chest waxed to raise awareness of rainforest issues, told a reporter quizzing him about his new film 42 that Jackie Robinson's role in breaking baseball's color barrier reminds him of the current same-sex marriage argument
Do you see any parallels between Jackie Robinson’s struggle for racial acceptance and the current battle for marriage equality?
I think there’s a metaphor you can reach for, according to your own interests and your own understanding and your own issues. But trying to create the best expression of the ideals — the most equal society, the best-regulated society, the best-behaving society — depend on attending to equality and inequity whenever it rears its ugly head. Certainly the marriage issue conveniently falls into that category.
Ford sees no issue with being so unequal to his movie-going public that he can use a private plane to grab a cheeseburger when the urge arises.

If recreational choices are now civil rights, then my recreation of shooting guns is being crushed by racists.
Hollyweirdos have a different way of thinking about things than normal people do.
Did Jackie Robinson need California to pay for treatments for infertility?
You are not allowed to ask liberals questions such as what are the criteria for our civil rights. Liberals have decided to force homosexual marriage, and any questioning of same is verboten. I see Harrison Ford has the talking points that homosexual marriage is comparable to breaking the color barrier in baseball, or any other civil rights issue. We’re supposed to be unthinking. We’re supposed to swallow homosexual marriage with no critical thinking allowed.
Looks like Harrison is campaigning for an Oscar now as Branch Rickey , his answer was so convoluted that it could mean anything to anybody!
It belittles the struggles for racial equality to equate it with sodomists and other perverts who want to play house.
I would think that heterosexual blacks would be enraged at this inane comparison.
Who knew Harrison Ford wasn’t acting in “Regarding Henry?”
Well, now he just sounds like some idiot ...
Doesn't everyone wax their chests to raise awareness of the rainforest? Makes as much sense as riding a bike naked to bring awareness to whatever goofy cause. Last I heard, marriage was a religious sacrament and homosexuality was a wrong in the eyes of God, but then I'm obviously living on an upside down world these days.
Every Black person in America should be offended.
The same sex behavior has been advanced by people like him and the supporting of the corrupt media. Not the population has evolved. Big difference, Harrison.
Exactly.
So, Jackie Robinson was a pervert trying to force everyone to accept his perversion?
Is this satire?
I want to raise awareness of the exploitation of women in massage parlors and to raise awarness, I will sacrifice myself and have sex ten times a day at the swankiest escort parlors.
Yes, it's a dirty, stinking, smelly job but someone has to do it... and it's for the children.
Ford ended up marrying Ally McBeal, I think she probably has a lot to do with his wackyness.
