Someone needs to up the meds! No, no. It’s cute. Drew Barrymore tells the November issue of  Harper’s Bazaar that Obama’s tolerance toward gay couples made her weepy.

“When I heard him speak about a gay person never having to sit outside the hospital room with their loved one sick inside, I burst into tears because so many people I care about are homosexual and it was profound to have someone be sensitive to that..that’s the kind of world I want to live in, where we’re not holding our own principles in judgment above someone or against someone.”

She also touches on her, um, interesting choices in men as of late. Unfortunately, she doesn’t straight up say “I’ve been raiding the high school parking lot” (damn!) but opts for a more diplomatic:

 I’ve had a couple of fun, frolicky relationships, but really, I got out of five-year-relationship and dated a few people here and there. Mostly it’s been about learning who I am, not through a man, but for myself. I’ve been spending more time with my friends and doing more traveling with the U.N. and challenging myself with work. I’m so happy with where my priorities are right now.”

Challenging indeed. Bagging a 21-year-old guy is infinitely challenging. It’s a real pie-in-the-sky type of ambition.
