5. I would hope not! She is bi and has a personal interest in it
even if she is not exactly likely to marry a woman. The whole farce of denying marriage rights looks even more ridiculous when you acknowledge bisexuality, and have to tell the same person that they could marry some of their potential spouses but not others. The discrimination and second-class citizen aspects become even more obvious then.

4. I think Brad Pitt is my home town's way of making up for producing John Ashcroft.

9. With all the good Brad Pitt does, I think he's erased the bad karma associated
with Ashcroft. :hi:

8. Bravo, Brad!
Well done.

Please don't expect the same response for any of your on screen performances.

Sorry, guapo, but you can't act to save your life.

:evilgrin:

12. Good on him
One of those "hollywood liberal" types that actually gives a shit about the causes he supports.

13. Straight guy donates the most to help gay marriage
Saw that on Pam's House Blend, he donated the most money to date for that particular legislation. When are the gay and lesbian celebrities and wealthy going to donate to the cause?

Thanks Brad.
