"Proposition 8 fails to advance any rational basis in singling out gay men and lesbians for denial of a marriage license.

That context, he purportedly says, was that he was trying to sleep with the woman he was talking to. "The girl is black. I like her. I'm jealous that she's with other black guys. I want her. So what the hell, can I in private tell her, you know, 'I don't want you to be with anybody'?" the man purported to be Sterling says in the new tape, according to RadarOnline.

The vote was 335 to 1. The measure must still go to the French Senate before it becomes law. The Senate is expected to vote on it in the week of September 20. Amnesty International immediately condemned the vote.

The 39-year-old French star of the silent comedy The Artist scooped the Best Actor statue at the Academy Awards in Hollywood on Sunday. But what many of the Americans voting for him did not know was that he produced and acted in a potentially devastating sketch in Les Infideles (The Players), which he is currently promoting in France. Graphic: The French advertising authorities banned this poster of Les Infideles after complaints that it was degrading to women, but Dujardin apparently feared the deleted 9/11 scene would do most damage to his Oscar hopes.
