Alec Baldwin in "The Advocate" on his asshole Jesus freak brother and gay marriage

The Advocate interviews Alec Baldwin this month and he's much funnier and openminded than I would've expected given his usual treatment by the media. He talks about his gay friends, gay roles he's played and should have played and, of course, addresses his asshole Jesus freak brother's anti-gay views:

Are you aware of your brother Stephen’s recent rant against gay marriage on Howard Stern—after starring in Threesome, no less?

"Well, in the modern political world, people like that -- whether or not I’m related to them -- only help us raise money. They want to ban gay marriage because those people are incapable of having a biological family—that’s their only argument—but what about a man and a woman who are infertile, or a man and a woman who choose not to procreate? You can ban gay marriage, but if you’re going to make it fair, then you have to ban marriage for everybody else who won’t produce children. But they never make it fair, and they just single out groups of people that they hate."

Considering you haven’t had the best of luck with the institution, I thought you might be against marriage altogether.

"No, you’ve got to allow gay marriage. But that’s one of the jokes people have made: “God, can you imagine what gay divorce would be like?”

Gawd, I don't want even begin to think about that..!
