Shannen Doherty Talks Reality TV, Gay Marriage, And Being Scarred By 80-Year-Old Penises

*BONUS: @ the bottom of the interview is a collection of clips featuring some of Shannen's best roles on TV

--------------------------

Shannen always gives good interviews. She's very bold, expressive & to the point. Among other parts of the interview, I liked this one:

Huffington Post: Seeing as you have many gay friends and considering you just spent a big chunk of time thinking about your own wedding, what are your thoughts on gay marriage?

Shannen Doherty: I believe that we live in a free country -- or at least we're supposed to be living in a free country. There are so many issues out there that contradict that statement. It's insane. Two men, two women should be able to get married. It's not about your sex, it's about love and commitment. No state has the right to tell someone, "No, this is not legal in the eyes of the state." That is the most ridiculous statement in the world when you then go and preach that this is a free country. That is mind boggling to me. And again, this takes me back to hate and judgement. I don't understand it. I am a Southern Baptist girl and I'm sure some people would cringe at my words but anyone can go and pick up the Bible where it says not to judge! It says that! And yet people are judging. And people saying gay marriage is not right and shouldn't be legal -- that's a judgement. It's so frustrating because it feels to me like we take one step forward and two steps backwards all the time. We're supposedly this progressive country and I'd like to see where the progression is, personally. [Laughs] Ugh!
