    Rupert Everett calls gay marriages ‘beyond tragic’
    Gay actor calls Anglican church ’crusty, old and pathetic’, saying: ’Why do queens want to get married in churches?’

    Gay actor Rupert Everett has called same-sex marriages ’beyond tragic’.

    In another instance of foot-in-mouth disease, gay actor Rupert Everett has called marriages between same-sex couples ‘beyond tragic’.

    In an interview with The Guardian, he said: ‘Why do queens want to go and get married in churches?

    ‘Obviously this crusty old pathetic Anglican church – the most joke-ish church of all jokey churches – of course they don’t want to have queens getting married.

    ‘It’s kind of understandable that they don’t; they’re crusty old calcified freaks. But why do we want to get married in churches? I don’t understand that, myself, personally.’
