George Clooney on the passing of Prop 8...
LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- George Clooney has spoken out for the first time about the passing of Prop. 8, the newly enacted California ballot measure that bans same-sex marriages -- and the activist actor thinks the law is on the wrong side of history.

"At some point in our lifetime, gay marriage won't be an issue," he told E! Online. "Everyone who stood against this civil right will look as outdated as George Wallace standing on the school steps keeping James Hood from entering the University of Alabama because he was black."

5. Unfortunately
Many people who backed Wallace still think he was right.
