The lovely Julianne Moore took home a SAG Award this past weekend for her role in Game Change, but we may be partial to her performance in The Kids Are All Right. (What? We like stories about same-sex parents. Sue us!)
It should come as no surprise that Moore is a staunch supporter of same-sex marriage and she touches on the subject in an interview with the UK's The Sunday Times Style Magazine.
See what she has to say after the jump!
The Sunday Times Style Magazine writes:
"Life for Moore is also politically charged. She supported Obama in his 2008 campaign, sits on the Board of Advocates for Planned Parenthood, the largest provider of sex education and women’s health in America, and is an active supporter of same-sex marriage. With women’s issues at the fore as we enter 2013, would she also classify herself as a feminist? 'Oh, yeah, absolutely. At one point, ‘feminist’ became a pejorative term. How did that happen? If you’re a feminist, you’re basically saying you’re a humanist. That’s why the issue of gay marriage is so important to me. It’s about everybody having the same shot at everything, at work, at marriage, at life.'"
Julianne's a class act, y'all!
