Cumming on Paterson

VIEWPOINTS — “He’s been trying to get this through for many, many years. It’s horrifying that we’re in the midst of a civil-rights struggle. It’s 2009! But things are definitely changing, and that’s why I think this is the time to pass the bill. The fact that New York is following Iowa seems kind of crazy. … He’s not doing it for political reasons. Like, when did gay marriage become something that could make you popular, for fuck’s sake? That’s just, like, being a little nippy, people being bitches.” —Alan Cumming on Gov. David Paterson’s marriage equality push [NYM]
