Lena Dunham of HBO's Girls and
Jack Antonoff of the band fun say they are waiting for gay marriage
to be legal before getting engaged.
In accepting her Golden Globes Award
Sunday for Best Actress in a Comedy Series, Dunham referred to
Antonoff as her “family,” leading to speculation of an imminent
wedding.
“I am not engaged,” she told
reporters backstage. “I don't want to get married until all gay
people can get married.”
Dunham also made mention of marriage
equality during a recent interview in which she discussed her
character's love interest, a Republican played by Donald Glover.
“We liked the idea of a Republican
entering their universe,” she
told Vulture's
Amanda Dobbins. “And Hannah doesn't really have a clear sense
of why you shouldn't date a Republican; it's kind of just like the
same reason why you shouldn't date a Nazi: You just shouldn't.”
“Wait, so your position is that you
shouldn't date a Republican?”
“My personal position is that you
should date anyone you want so long as they treat you respectfully
and share your value system,” she explained. “So it might be
hard for me to date someone who was against gay marriage and abortion
rights – I don't think I would be attracted to them – but I don't
have any personal problem with dating a Republican. I do think that
Hannah has this reverse ignorance where she's like, 'If they're
Republican, get them out of my airspace.' And that was a fun thought
to explore.”
