"Hugh Hefner has affirmed his support for gay marriage in a newly published article. The Playboy founder described the campaign to legalize same sex unions across the US as a &amp;quot;fight for all our rights&amp;quot; in a Politico column.   &amp;quot;Without it, we will turn back the sexual revolution and return to an earlier, puritanical time. Today, in every instance of sexual rights falling under attack, you&amp;#039;ll find legislation forced into place by people who practice discrimination disguised as religious freedom,&amp;quot; Hefner wrote.  He continued: &amp;quot;[Moral values groups&amp;#039;] goal is to dehumanise everyone&amp;#039;s sexuality and reduce us to using sex for the sole purpose of perpetuating our species. To that end, they will criminalise your entire sex life.&amp;quot; Hefner also suggested that denying the LGBT community the right to marry in each state is akin to refusing them human rights. &amp;quot;No-one should have to subjugate their religious freedom, and no-one should have their personal freedoms infringed. This is America and we must protect the rights of all Americans,&amp;quot; he insisted. Carrie Underwood, Will Smith and US President Barack Obama have also recently come out in support of same sex unions. Hefner&amp;#039;s full column can be read here.
