MOLLY RINGWALD LOVES HER GAY FAN BASE, THINKS PROPOSITION 8 IS “CRAZY”

MOLLY Ringwald loves her gays!
The 80′s icon and happily married mother of three says it would be “hard” for her not be aware of her homosexual fan base because she has so many gay friends.
“Since most my friends are gay, it would be hard not to be aware of it now, but I don’t think I realized it early on in my career because I don’t know that I definitely had that fan base until later,” Ringwald told The Advocate. “I became pretty aware of it in the ’90s, after some time had passed, and especially when I was living in New York and doing a lot of theater.”
The 42-year-old then spoke about the humorous “Vote No on Prop. 8″ video that she and her husband, Panio Gianopoulos, filmed back in 2008.
“My friend Matt knew somebody that was doing it and wanted me to be a part of it, so of course I said I would,” she said. “It was important to me to do because it seems absolutely crazy that people who love each other can’t marry.
“It’s unfair the way the whole Prop. 8 thing went down — the act of voting no on something instead of yes was confusing, and it felt like a train wreck from the very beginning.
“Right now it’s frustrating, but years from now it’s going to seem crazy, like, “Oh, my God, we had slavery? We thought it was OK to enslave people?” Matt and Greg, the godparents of my children, have a relationship and a marriage that most people could only aspire to have.”
