Hollywood
actress and activist Goldie Hawn met President Jonathan on January 22nd at the
World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, took a pic with him, shared it on
twitter and described the president as 'wonderful president of Nigeria'.
Thing
is, Goldie Hawn is a staunch supporter of gay rights and when some fans lashed
out at her for taking a pic with an anti-gay president and praising him, Goldie
said she had no idea and was appalled. She immediately deleted the pic with the
president and apologized to her twitter followers.
She
told Huffington post at Davos
"First of all, the pic had every right to cause an uproar. I
had no idea," Hawn said, noting she "literally hadn't looked at the
news" because she's been traveling and writing a book.
Hawn said that's
"no excuse," and she was "absolutely appalled" when she
found out about Jonathan's anti-gay views. "This has nothing to do with my
philosophy,"
Hawn called
Jonathan's anti-gay actions "very fear-based" and "full of
hatred."
"It breaks my
heart because I have my own personal feelings about this. This is man's inhumanity
to man of the first order. It's more than ridiculous, it's barbaric," Hawn
said
Readers please your views: Isn't this some kind of discrimination?
