Actress Julianne Moore has defended the rights of same-sex couples to become parents following her experiences on her latest film 'The Kids Are All Right'.
The 'Far From Heaven' star takes on the role of a lesbian mother who raises a brood of children with her same-sex partner, played by Annette Bening in the new movie.
Following her role, Moore has spoken out in support of gay mums and dads, insisting all children need for a happy home life is "two loving parents".
She tells Reuters:
"Parenting is about the time you put in and the investment you make in ushering this little child and turning it into an adult. Whether you are a woman or a man, that is what your job is.
"What children need is two loving parents. It doesn't matter if they are two mums, or two dads, or a mum and a dad."
And she has attacked Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi over his recent comments that it is "better to like beautiful girls than be gay."
She adds:
"I think it's unfortunate, archaic and idiotic. To hint or to say that there is something wrong with homosexuality... it's unfortunate and it's embarrassing when people continue to perpetrate these untruths."
