Penn’s pro same-sex “marriage” rant during the Oscars makes me wonder whose team he’s playing for, if you get my drift. Yeah, I know he was married to Madonna back in the 1980s; I wonder if that was a mutually beneficial career move (i.e. arranged marriage), with the benefit of Madonna providing a useful role as a “beard” for Penn. If you are unfamiliar with the role of “beard” see, for example, Kidman, Nicole, and Cruise, Tom. You never know.
He’s always been very homophobic in the past, but you’re right, in my experience the most stridently anti-gay types are battling against something inside themselves
Oscars smackdown: 'Wrestler' Mickey Rourke slams Sean Penn (Gold Derby (LA Times) December 29, 2008)
The Daily Beast reports that it's obtained a private text message in which "Mickey Rourke bashes Sean Penn — his chief rival in the Oscar race — as a 'homophobe' and an 'average' actor. "Columnist Gerald Posner says a Los Angeles entertainment honcho showed him the text message, which read: "Look seans an old friend of mine and i didnt buy his performance at all—thought he did an average pretend acting like he was gay besides hes one of the most homophobic people i kno' [sic] "
Nah. I heard Penn say, with my own ears, that if you want to have a good time "get an 8-ball and a couple of hookers." My feeling is that he is one of a hand full of liberal "entertainer" hacks that are on Soros's payroll to say stupid things in order to get people riled up. Him and that Belafonte fellow, and a few others like Rosey O'donut.
