Actress, model and TV personality Olivia Munn has used her celebrity platform to speak out for gay rights. She has taken President Barack Obama to task for not doing more to expand the rights of the LGBT community and specifically points to his own minority status as a reason to be more sympathetic and active on behalf of civil rights.
“It’s ridiculous and I'm really upset that Obama, as a black man, and all the things that African Americans have gone through after being oppressed, has said 'you're less than' and cannot stand up and say marriage is a union between two individuals who love each other,” she said. “I just think everyone should be allowed the same rights — if they want to exercise them, they can and if they don't, they don't” (Advocate).
