Actress Jane Lynch, best known as Adidas-lovin’ coach Sue Sylvester on TV’s Glee, has blasted President Barack Obama, branding the nation’s leader “a huge disappointment” for his policies — or lack thereof — on gay rights issues
.
In a chat with London’s The Guardian last week, the star spoke out against the Proposition 8 amendment, which banned gay marriage in California. Jane complains that the clause is unconstitutional because the majority should not have the right to vote on the lives of the minority.
“Shouldn’t there be safeguards against the majority voting on the rights of a minority? If people voted on civil rights in the ’60s, it would have never happened. It took somebody like (U.S. President) Lyndon Johnson going, ‘F all of you! I’m going to do this.’ Obama won’t do it. He’s a huge disappointment to me,” Lynch scoffed.
Last week, President Obama appointed a transsexual to senior position at the Department of Commerce.
