Seth MacFarlane: Big champion of gay rights [video]

”Despite what ‘Family Guy’ would have you believe, I’m not gay…. This is one where it’s okay for the people who have made that leap to kind of yank the rest of the nation forward. While you have people who are deliberating as their watching Dr. Phil, ‘Gee, am I okay with this or not?’ — you have couples who are waiting to get on with their fucking lives, and why should they have to wait for these people.”

Funny man Seth MacFarlane, creator of and voice actor for the animated TV shows ”Family Guy” and ”American Dad,” speaking about his support for gay marriage. (Real Time with Bill Maher)
