“You know, I have some good friends of my own who happen to be gay, and when it comes to gay, straight, or whatever, I’m for anything life-affirmative. I’m for gay power, straight power, male power, female power; everybody should feel empowered without oppressing anyone who’s different. You know those World Cup banners about tolerance? I always thought that was one short. No, don’t just tolerate me. Understand and accept me.”
This is just another thing of many that I love about Matthew McConaughey. He really is just like his character in ‘Dazed and Confused’. He’s totally a live-and-let-live kind of guy, and the fact that he gave this interview to the Advocate while talking about his upcoming movie, Magic Mike, wherein he plays a male stripper with an ass for days, only makes me love him even more.
Oh, and that he’s so beautiful and committed to his fiancee and family. All that, too. And that he played such a darling part in ‘The Wedding Planner’, which is a movie that I watch TWICE when it comes on TBS on the weekends. DOUBLE-FEATURE, BITCHES.
Love you, Matthew!
