Spencer Pratt on Prop 8: if Heidi's hair and makeup people want to marry...'

Posted Nov 14 via Celebitchy Nov 14, 08

Now that Prop 8 has passed and the future of gay marriage is up in the air in California, all sorts of formerly silent celebrities (and quasi-celebrities) are coming out of the woodwork to say that they're against it. Unfortunately they're all bringing attention to the issue after the fact, and it would have been nice if more people had been vocal about it before the election.

Spencer Pratt (and Heidi Montag by association) has said that if gay people want to get married, he's got no problem with it. And both he and Heidi are staunch Republicans. Normally we have a ban on talking about this cheesy media courting pair, but we had to make an exception for this story.

First, Fall Out Boy spoke out against California's Proposition 8 ' a ballot measure amending the state's constitution to eliminate the right of same-sex couples to marry ' with frontman Patrick Stump saying, 'These are basic human rights. It's a real shame people are mixing up their church and state.' Then, Christina Aguilera told MTV News she, too, is opposed to Prop 8's passage. 'I think it is discrimination, and I don't understand how people can be so close-minded and so judgmental,' she said.

But what about Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, that adorably spurious, Taco Bell-lovin' couple from MTV's 'The Hills'? Surely, Speidi have an opinion on the controversial and contentious issue.

'Like I've always said: Heidi's hair and makeup people are some of my favorite homosexuals on the planet, and if they want to marry each other, I'm not about to be like, ‘Don't,' ' Pratt told MTV News from the set of CBS' 'How I Met Your Mother.'

'I'm very for equal rights,' Montag added.

Never did I think I'd see the day when I respected something that came out of Spencer Pratt's mouth. I hate him a little less right now. And he's right. If gay people want to get married, they should be able to. If you're against it, feel free to apply your morals to yourself. For the life of me I cannot understand how anyone could say they believe they should have more rights than another human being.

I really wish more celebrities had taken up this cause while they still could have had an impact on the vote. Everyone seemed so shocked that Prop 8 passed - me included. But it got relatively little press until the last minute, which is a shame. If nothing else, hopefully people that support gay marriage will continue to speak out until it's a right everyone has. In all states.
