She tells the magazine, "It is because of me — I definitely think [my show] has helped the movement. Before it came out, everyone was still a little apprehensive about [same sex relationships]," she said. "Then they realized, 'Wow, everyone is really into this stuff, and it is fine.' The next thing you know, [gay marriage] is legal."
I'm hoping that UsWeekly took these statements out of context or that perhaps she was heavily medicated at the time of the interview. Regardless of your opinion on Ms. Tequila (Hyphen previously discussed Tila the Asian stereotype vs. Tila the savvy businesswoman), I think it's disrespectful to credit yourself with such a landmark civil rights victory. Especially if your contribution to the cause was romping around in a hot tub with various guys and gals. What would George Takei say?
