Drew Barrymore: 'What Defines a Family? We Do!' (at Prop 8 Rally Last Night in West Hollywood)
National Review Magazine ^ | 05/27 10:08 AM | [Maggie Gallagher]

Posted on 05/27/2009 10:03:22 AM PDT by lewisglad

This CBS News story is a snapshot of where the gay-marriage debate is taking us.

At a rally in West Hollywood, Drew Barrymore revived the old narrative that family structure doesn't matter:

"Children need families, people need to love and we need to move forward, not backward," Barrymore said. "What defines a family? We do!"

A rabbi calls the idea that marriage means a husband and wife "religious bigotry," i.e., not religious liberty.

The headline of the story is Ted Olson's decision to help bring a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Prop 8. I'm not sure the Human Rights Campaign is pleased.

Watch and see whether, after the publicity and the fundraising, this lawsuit disappears. (Is Anthony Kennedy really the fifth vote for a national constitutional right to gay marriage?)

Support for Prop 8 has also grown over the last few months: "A poll of 600 California voters by CBS Station KPIX said 56 percent agree with the Court's decision to uphold Proposition 8."

She was very sweet, even as a young adult acting in “chick flicks.” I really liked her. But her face was always unmistakable.

IMO, she’s still looking for the love and approval she never had as a kid. Just hope she’s not re-addicted to any substances. Poor little girl.

I will say it again. How can one support gay marriage and not support adult incest or adult polygamy?

And she has how many kids????

How many ex-husbands? Hardly the poster girl for the sanctity of marriage.

She was married to Welsh bartender turned bar owner Jeremy Thomas from March 20 to April 28, 1994. Her second marriage was to comedian Tom Green from July 7, 2001 to October 15, 2002. Green filed for divorce in December 2001. In 2002, Barrymore began dating Strokes’ drummer Fabrizio Moretti, soon after they met at a concert. Their five year relationship, however, ended on January 10, 2007. She most recently dated Justin Long, however, they confirmed their split in July 2008.

In the 1990s Barrymore was frequently described as bisexual, although she said in a 1997 interview that she hadn’t “been with a woman in about two years.” In 2004, she was quoted as saying “A woman and a woman together are beautiful, just as a man and a woman together are beautiful. Being with a woman is like exploring your own body, but through someone else. When I was younger I used to go with lots of women. Totally. I love it”. In March 2007, former magazine editor Jane Pratt claimed on her Sirius Satellite Radio show that she had a romance with Barrymore in the mid-nineties.

Barrymore was formerly a vegetarian, but has since begun to eat meat

Well, her current appearance makes me think she's hoping that Lindsay Lohan will make a pass at her. All Drew needs is a weird hat and she'd look like LiLo's strange ex-whatever.

Kelly Osborne looks like one of the Pep boys: a great big head on top of a little tiny body. Why does everyone in Hollywood want to be emaciated?

"Children need families, people need to love and we need to move forward, not backward," Barrymore said.

Well . . . she's right! Children do need families, and we need to move forward. It's over, the homos lost, we won. Let's all get on with our lives.

And, Drew dear, just 'cuz you lost doesn't mean we're moving "backward". This is moving forward. We'll do it without you, if we have to!

“A rabbi calls the idea that marriage means a husband and wife ‘religious bigotry,’ i.e., not religious liberty.”

Wait, this guy’s a rabbi? Meaning he has the gall to actually believe in his god above others, and to believe the precepts of his faith are superior to others’? How Dare He!

I doubt it. He probably believes his faith is but one way to God.

"Christians" who spout this crap are flat out calling Christ a liar.

Support for Prop. 8 is growing. One would think the Left would know when to stop digging but they just can't help themselves. I hope they keep it up!

How does it feel to be at the forefront of cultural decay, Drew?

Hell, she was a drunk at nine and a junkie at twelve.

She was a child prodigy of cultural decay!

Exactly my point. They have all the rights, privileges and benefits of marriage but the name. No one has taken away anything they already have from them but gays are not content with the exercise of their own rights - they want to take other people's right to live by their own values away from them. That's the real bigotry and hatred on display today in California.

Poor Drew doesn’t realize that dabbling in the homosexual world, is a big leap backward. It’s sign of decay, just another mile marker on the road to ruin for nations.
