WATCH: Hugh Grant Backs Marriage For Gay Couples... But Not For Himself

WENN

Hugh Grant has spoken out in support of same-sex marriage, but maintained that it isn't for him.

The actor recorded a special video message for the 'Out 4 Marriage' campaign in which he says that he believes everyone should have the same rights when it comes to being with the one they love.

He says: "Hello, I’m Hugh Grant. I’m not a massive believer in marriage - I think my own biography is testament to that.

"But I do think that love is the same for everyone. And I do think that everyone should have the same rights.

"If you want to get married, whether you’re gay, straight, transgender, whatever, you should definitely be allowed to do that."

Joseph Musgrave, political director of the campaign, commented: "Although it’s great to have such a well-known celebrity support us, Hugh’s key contribution is to emphasise the human element. This is all about the recognition of love and freeing people to decide how they, and not the state, choose to act on that."

Today Lady Gaga blasted the Pope for his own dismissal of homosexual unions.
