Plenty of celebrities are out and proud. Plenty of others are supportive of this. Not all of them, though.
Here are some stars whose anti-gay views and comments have caused a stir.
We can only imagine how they feel about the fact that gay marriage is now legal in all 50 states, courtesy of the Supreme Court deciding so in June of 2015.
The Duggar Family
We can’t separate any of these reality stars out. Nearly all members of this family have made anti-gay remarks or even been paid to give anti-gay speeches.
Kevin Hart
Hart resigned as host of the Oscars after refusing to apologize for some very anti-gay jokes and Tweets.
Kirk Cameron
Few celebrities are as vocally opposed to same sex marriage as former Growing Pains star Kirk Cameron.
Phil Robertson
Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson ignited a national controversy with his comments to GQ about gays and gay sex.
Isaiah Washington
Isaiah Washington got the boot from Grey’s Anatomy, and pretty much derailed his own career, by referring to then co-star T.R. Knight by a gay slur … then doing it again whilst insisting he didn’t do it.
Chris Brown
Chris Brown has dropped more gay slurs over the course of his many scandals than we can even remember.
Alec Baldwin
The actor got into hot water with homophobic tweets towards writer George Stark, then in a separate incident, called a photographer a “c–ks–king f–got” which he somehow said was not a gay slur.
Paris Hilton
In the fall of 2012, Hilton said: “”Gay guys are the horniest people in the world… they’re disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS.” Not much we can add to that.
Pat Robertson
In August 2013, Pat Robertson said on The 700 Club that gay peiple purposely spread AIDS. Really, he said this!
Donald Trump
Trump actually criticized gay marriage by comparing it to a golf game in 2012. It’s as strange as it sounds.
Mel Gibson
In 1991, Gibson told Spanish newspaper El Pais: “With this look, who’s going to think I’m gay? I don’t lend myself to that type of confusion. Do I look like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?†Was this a long time ago? Yes. But has Gibson’s recent behavior made you think he’s grown more tolerant?
Tracy Morgan
Tracy Morgan launched into an anti-gay bit during a stand-up routine. He balked at apologizing but later did so in a statement.
Lil Scrappy
When Frank Ocean came out, Lil Scrappy made a plea to “real women†who want to deal with “real men†so they could “keep the AIDS situation down.”
Chick-fil-A
Chick-fil-A became a cause celebre for same-sex marriage opponents after its management voiced opposition to gay unions and faced strong backlash.
