Brad Pitt on Gay Marriage
When Charlize Theron said at this year's GLAAD Awards that she and her boyfriend Stuart Townsend wouldn't get married until gay marriage was legalized, it was a very moving moment for those of us in the audience. The Oscar winner, who played a lesbian serial killer in "Monster," seemed sincere and it made for a beautiful evening.
So now comes an even bigger star than Charlize: Brad Pitt, also coming out in support of same-sex marriage.
In an interview with "Esquire" magazine released this week, Pitt says he will not marry Angelina Jolie until restrictions on gay marriage are lifted. Jolie gave birth to their daughter Shiloh in May and Pitt has adopted her two adopted children.
"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," Pitt, divorced from Jennifer Aniston last year, tells the magazine.

News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.

You each have your ideals on religion and etc. right? Well my question to the world is how come it's bigotry when one says that a gay person is wrong for being gay, yet when a gay person says that it's wrong for the straight to be against gay marriage that they are wrong? Aren't both sides oppinions? Then who is to say that one is wrong and the other is right? How come when the guy off of the Grey's annatomy said an anti gay remark he was immediately put in theropy, yet when a person like Brad Pitt says that he won't marry until homosexuals have the right to marry, he is placed on a petal stool. Aren't we all being a bit one sided? (And please don't use the African American struggle as an example, in my opinion they have nothing to do with each other.)

after brad and angie said that they would not marry until everyone can, it made me love and respect them that much more. I take my hat off to these guys and wish that more straight people would follow their lead
