Betty White: ‘I Really Don’t Care With Whom You Sleep’ | The illustrious Betty White had the opportunity to meet President Obama in the White House this week and stopped by the Huffington Post for a little chat while in town. When she was asked what it was like being a gay icon, she offered some simple thoughts on marriage equality:
WHITE: Oh! I didn’t know I was a gay icon. I get a lot of mail — but I don’t get many bad letters — but I got a woman the other day that was so upset with me because they said, “How do you feel about the gay marriage thing?” and my answer to that is, “I really don’t care with whom you sleep, I just care what kind of a decent human being you are.” I figure all the rest of it is your business and not mine. And not hers, incidentally.
