Celebrity News – An Oscar Statement About Marriage Equality
Anne Hathaway
From Variety:
When stars parade down the red carpet at Sunday’s Oscars, it’s anticipated that at least a few of them will be wearing white ribbons.
While recent displays of such a fashion accessory stir very little controversy — red ribbons to mark the AIDS crisis, pink to symbolize breat cancer research — the white ribbons will symbolize support of same-sex marriage, one of the most polarizing issues in the ongoing culture wars.
According to Frank Voci, who spearheaded the WhiteKnot.org campaign, Anne Hathaway has said she will wear a ribbon, along with some members of the team behind “Milk.” (Sean Penn has a ribbon, but Voci said he’s been told that the star often doesn’t decide until the last minute). All of the major nominees have been sent the ribbons, along with “publicists and agents and studios and production companies, all with an extremely warm reception,” Voci said.
