"I think all these pride marches have lost their centre slightly. If you encountered them in the beginning of the 1980s when the gay community was really in crisis with its back against the wall, they were very highly charged events about survival and trying to define ourselves and keep our heads up.

Now, because of all the fighting that those people did, there is a generation of mindless drug addicts – party-grazing cows who move from one side of the planet to the other, getting high and fucking each other. I’m not saying whether that’s good or bad, but it’s not political anymore."


~Rupert Everett, speaking to Australia's SX Magazine

I guess Mr. Everett hasn't attended a march in the US recently, where hot button political issues such as gay marriage, transgender quality, and ENDA have been the center of attention. Interesting comments nonetheless.
