This year’s winners for screenplay and best actor got strong ovations for in effect endorsing gay marriage to a worldwide audience.

This is what Sean Penn ( Best actor winner ) said in his acceptance speech :

“I think it’s a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect on their great shame and their shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that support. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.”

Dustin Lance Black, who received the award for best original screenplay for MILK, told of learning about Harvey Milk as a 13-year-old. “It gave me the hope to live my life openly as who I am, and then maybe even I could fall in love and one day get married” he said in his acceptance speech.

Then there was Bill Mahr shilling for his documentary on religion with his soapbox diatribe about how religion causes all wars. It was beyond pathetic.

“I think it’s a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect on their great shame and their shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that support. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.”

Mr Penn:

Reflect on this:

1. I voted in favor of Prop 8.
2. I'm not going to have any grandchildren.
3. I'm not ashamed of how I voted.

Three strikes. You're out.
