The 29-year-old actress recently was asked if she agreed with George Clooney that gay rights are the "last leg of the civil rights movement."

"Absolutely, I agree with that. 100 percent," Sophia told E! Online.

"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," she added. "Anyone who says that it isn't is misinformed."
