Brad Pitt Steps Up to Support Gay Marriage
He’s one of the hottest leading men in Hollywood. And recently Brad Pitt put his money where his mouth is in support of gay marriage.
The “Fight Club” stud donated $100,000 to fight the State of California’s Proposition 8, an initiative to end same-sex rights to marriage.
He told press, “Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8.”
Pitt has also denied himself the right to marry Angelina Jolie until gay marriage is legal. “Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able.”
Political strategist Chad Griffin encouraged other celebrities to follow Brad’s example, telling press, “It is our hope that others in the entertainment industry will step up and match Brad Pitt’s heroic commitment to quality and defeating Prop. 8.”
