Rupert Everett Receives Death Threats After Criticizing Gay Parenting
Actor Rupert Everett has lately been getting death threats and hate mail. The reason he is getting all this hate mail and death threats is because he criticized gay parenting by saying, "There's nothing worse than being brought up by two gay dads."
Mr. Everett, who is also a gay man, says that his recent comments on gay parenting have made him a marked man. His criticizing comment was said at an interview for the Sunday Times Magazine.
Mr. Everett also said that he agrees that everyone should have a mother and a father, not two gay fathers. He knew that others wouldn't agree with him, but he didn't care. He says it's his opinion.
I honestly think he should have kept his mouth shut and never said any of that stuff. If you ask me, it seems like he has a problem with gay people, even though he's a gay man himself. He should have expected that he would get hate mail for the cruel thing he said in that interview.
As a person who has a few gay friends, I don't feel sorry for Everett one bit.
