‘One Tree Hill’ Star Sophia Bush Talks Marriage Equality | One Tree Hill may be most famous as a television show that featured a dog eating a transplant heart. But off the set, some of its actors have decidedly sensible ideas. Sophia Bush is absolutely right on this one: “When we’re talking about the ’60s, when my best friend couldn’t drink out of the same water fountain as I can because his skin is a different color than me…Now, you’re talking about a different best friend of mine who can’t get married even though I could get married seven times in my life and he can’t do that because he is a different sexual orientation than me?! That’s absolutely a civil rights issue.” It’s always worth pointing out that opposition to marriage equality is a distraction from the real factors that are making marriage less attractive and less resilient.
