Charles Barkley (NBA) Endorses Gay Marriage
Edited on Sun Feb-15-04 11:49 PM by lazarus
Watching the NBA All Star game tonight, and Charles Barkley was on at the half, along with Magic Johnson, etc.

He suddenly interrupted everyone to declare that gay people should be allowed to get married. "It's their own business what they do."

Good for him. That's actually going to be a big help.

I realized that he was one of the good guys when I saw him on Real Time

4. Charles Barkley tore Michael Weiner a new asshole on CNN a while ago.
It was on Talk Back Live. He gave the Weiner the what-for.

He's not a wing-nut. That was some rumour started by an insecure person.

Good on you, Chuck. :thumbsup:

He and the rest of the TNT NBA crew were hilarious all weekend.
