I love this bitch!

Brad Pitt is putting US$100,000 of his money to fight for the right of gays and lesbians to marry.

"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," the actor said in a statement.

Courage! And let it be known that I am in an infinitesimal minority who doesn't find Brad Pitt that attractive.

Now, before the Brangelina-bots go crazy : I recognize that Brad Pitt is a good looking man. He just doesn't do it for me. I don't get the bit, you know, moist just by looking at him.

Now, I loooooove his comedic acting. I loooooove his dadditude. I honestly love Brad Pitt for his philanthropy and his politics. He seems like a genuine decent guy.

Yup. Love the Man for his character not his face.

[Report this comment] Posted by: GriGri on Sep 19, 2008 3:11 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Brad Pitt is gorgeous. He is talented; one of the best actors, comedic and dramatic, of our generation. Now, he has established himself as a spokesperson for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. If we continue to see the high level of dedicated activism, both financial and personal, from public figures like Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Matt Damon, Oprah Winfrey, etc., we may well see a critical mass occur that motivates all humanity to take a definitive and intractable stand for human dignity and equality. On behalf of the "have-nots," thank you, Brad, may you experience continued success in all your endeavors.

He is a genuine person, not a jerk as all too many Hollywood stars are. He is what I call a WYSIWYG person - What you see is what you get.

It is a gorgeous statement. I agree with it and will use this frequently. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] Ya done Good kid!

Uhhh that is, Thanks for the support from your most fantastic of supporters! No, no that's not right either . . . Thanks for supporting the nuts of those who believe in Gay Marrige. Aw damn! Ok, Ok, I got it: Thanks for speaking out! Best of regards to Angeline the kids and that funny looking dog! I am afraid to say anything else it might be misconscrewed.

God Bless you for being the MAN you are. Please give my best regards to your family (parents) and to Jolie and your children. I love you! and just think I am only 79 years young, how does that grab you??

[Report this comment] Posted by: SkeeterVT1 on Sep 19, 2008 10:15 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] I'm a bi guy and don't find Brad Pitt all that attractive, either -- not since he got rid of his shoulder-length locks in favor of a buzzcut (I've got a thing for long hair). But I say "Right On!" (Okay, so I just gave away my age with that exclamation) for his principled stand against Proposition 8.

I like his principles. I like his politics. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5]
