Time to add two more allies to the list. Jeanne Phillips, the current Dear Abby, supports same-sex marriages. And with that, PFLAG will honor her with their first Straight for Equality award.
“I believe if two people want to commit to each other, God bless ‘em,” the syndicated advice columnist told The Associated Press. “That is the highest form of commitment, for heaven’s sake.”
Phillips’ mother Pauline, the original Dear Abby (or Abigail Van Buren), made reference to the group in a 1984 column. Jeanne continues to plug the group in her column now.
The Cleveland Free Times today published an interview with DC-area native Henry Rollins, where he states his support of gay marriages.
I think it’s really lame what’s going on with those that are gay and I’m not gay…. [W]hen you see the kind of hatred exacted at these people who can’t help how they feel about men, it’s sad…. I think if Bill and Tom want to get married, they should be able to in America. If someone has a problem with that, go on your way.
He also comments on the Larry Craig case and admits he’s going easy on him when he really shouldn’t.
