GAY TRUTH

LONDON , October 9, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – The popular gay actor Rupert Everett has told British media that he has received several death threats for his comments opposing the government’s plans to create gay “marriage.” “I’ve now had all this hate mail and there have been death threats, too,” Everett told the Daily Telegraph , Sept. 30th.  Rupert Everett “All the queens out there now have it in for me,” the 53 year-old actor said. “I’m loathed by them. I’m having to take evasive action.” Everett  came under fire  from the homosexual community after he told an interviewer with the Sunday Times Magazine that he could not think of “anything worse than being brought up by two gay dads.” In response to the tidal wave of criticism from homosexuals and celebrities, Everett asked for an interview with the Guardian’s Decca Aitkenhead to “explain what he meant.” Everett clarified that he “loathes” heterosexual weddings and thinks the entire institution “just a wast

Now Rupert Everett finds himself in a somewhat less enviable position. The 53-year-old actor has been rounded on by gay rights groups after saying: "I can’t think of anything worse that being brought up by two gay dads." Everett’s comments are likely to offend celebrity parents such as Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish . The couple have a 21-month-old son Zachary, born to a surrogate mother. Ben Summerskill , chief executive of the gay rights group Stonewall, said: "Rupert should get out a little bit more to see the facts for himself. "There is absolutely no evidence that the kids of gay parents suffer in the way they are being brought up or in how they develop.’ However, this denial fails in the face the the Regernus study which has been vil
