Mr. Media Interviews by Bob Andelman
Friday, May 16, 2008
  A Beautiful Thing, But Outlawed in Most States
"I’ve played a lesbian like three times and I’ve been the most asexual lesbian in history. I wouldn’t sign up for that experience if I wasn’t ready for every aspect of that character. When you sign up to play a character, you sign up to play every aspect of that character’s life. And if she’s going to have a love interest, what’s the point of having two gay characters if you don’t get to see them for who they are. If that means kissing, making out, or making love, let’s show it!"
- Gabrielle Union, co-star of the summer movie Meet Dave and guest star on recent episodes of "Ugly Betty," answering Men's Fitness interrogator Elizabeth Sanchez's curiosity about her willingness to get into a little girl-on-girl action in the movies.
