Slow thy breathing, it’s not a baby announcement. Natalie and Benjamin are supporting the movement to allow gay people to have the same fundamental right to marriage as everyone else. OnTop Magazine has the article and I’ve pasted the statement that was released on their behalf.
“Natalie Portman and her fiance, Benjamin Millepied, are in love, and believe all loving couples should be able to share in the freedom to marry without discrimination. That’s why today they are joining the more than 100,000 people on Freedom to Marry’s Say, ‘I Do’ Open Letter calling on President Obama to do the right thing and become part of America’s majority for marriage,” said Freedom to Marry President Evan Wolfson in a statement.
This is not the first time that Natalie has come out in support of gay rights. She participated in the Love Unites petition and of course famously made this statement:
“I’ve never dated a woman or anything like it, but I think it’s much more about the person you fall in love with. “Why would you close yourself off from 50 per cent of people?”
