Colin Farrell's emotional plea for marriage equality

[joeybee12]

Colin Farrell put pen to paper and wrote a heartfelt plea for marriage equality today.

In an open letter, Farrell spoke about his younger brother Eamon's experiences with homophobia, physical abuse and his own feelings towards marriage equality.

Here's his letter, in full and unedited.

I think I found out my brother wasn’t grovelling in heterosexual mud like most boys our age when I was around 12. I remember feeling surprised. Intrigued. Curious. Not bi-curious before you start getting ideas.

I was curious because it was different from anything I’d known or heard of and yet it didn’t seem unnatural to me. I had no reference for the existence of homosexuality. I had seen, by that age, no gay couples together. I just knew my brother liked men and, I repeat, it didn’t seem unnatural to me.
