OlderBrad Pitt Fights For Gay Marriage
Brad Pitt has donated $100,000 to fight California’s Proposition 8, a ballot initiative that would ban same-sex marriage in the state.
“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 44-year-old actor said in a statement.
Political strategist Chad Griffin, who is coordinating efforts in the entertainment industry to defeat the measure, added, “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. This isn’t a special interest issue - this measure affects every business and every family. With California’s budget and the national economy in chaos, the last thing we need is an unnecessary measure that threatens health benefits and protections for children.”

No on 8 (the proposition).

Does this mean that the gay couples who got married recently, including Ellen and Portia, might have their marriages cancelled???
angelina has a great bad influence on him. That’s why rumors dont stop about how the pitt’s family prefer jennifer than angelina. The pitts are christian they have this christian faith and so is pitt and jennifer aniston. When he started hooking up with jolie he loses his faith. Angelina is anitichrist she thinks she’s a God herself she always say that in her interview she doesnt belive God. How can you jp fans admire this two people?especially angelina?

He should have fought for his own marriage. ” because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another” - What a lie - he doesn’t believe this or he would still be married.

He wanted children with his X but she never gave him any. She gave him broken promises. He gave that marriage 7 long wasted yrs. and because he knew that he was getting older, so he pursued the life he so DESIRED because he believes that “everyone has the right to live the life they so desire…” Now he is with Angie that desires the same thing as he does. In fact, having children is just one of their major shared desires in life. “What a perfect couple.” They’re happy with each other and with what they do and together, they tackle what little inconveniences it brings because it’s normal and it’s life.

I must therefore ask that question - are some people born homosexuals?
——-
Are gay people born gay or is it their environment that makes them gay. I leave that to the experts.
>>>>>>>>
I know from reading the literature that China and Japan has its gays. India and the whole Indonesian archipelago has its transexuals/gays (I know they aren’t the same thing but the boundaries here can be a bit blur), who are part of the very fabric of its society and in Malay/ Indonesian culture have a respected role. And of course caucasions have their gays and the meditarraneans have gays (pompeii anyone?)
So, through the centuries and across cultures.
Most societies are not kind to gays.
I can only assume no one in their right minds would choose to be gay as a life style choice because you do get discriminated against. Why otherwise, do so many gays hide their gayness in the closet, denying it to themselves and only when life becomes unbearable to themselves do they acknowledge privately that they are gay to themselves. And then, it could take them years to admit their homosexuality to the community?
I met a boy, 18 years old and was his tutor for 2 years. He didn’t want to admit he was gay. Not at 18, but everyone could see he was different to other boys. Happily for him, a few years later, he did acknowledge he was gay.
I don’t know if it is genes or environment. As it occurrs across every race I’ve met and every culture through time, I am inclined to think it is genetic. And if it is genetic, is that not God’s will, just like a downs syndrome baby or an autistic child?
If we don’t understand it, should we condemn it?
ok let me get this straight. we live in a country where money dictates policy and not the vote of the people? I don’t care if brad donates 5000000000000 million dollars, this isnt’ a dictatorship yet, votes are what make laws, not money. jesus these fools, go live in Africa, that’s how they handle things over there.

Angelina is more Christian than anyone in HW. She is very generous, helps a lot of people, donating lots of her money and efforts! Thats very Christian! She goes forth and multiply as God said in the bible.
Jennifer is not a Christian, she is very stingy with her own money, she only spends for herself and her friends, she hops from one man to another like she change her clothes. She does not multiply, until now she is childless, thats very unchristian!
And please stop all those gossip about the Pitts liking Jennifer more than Angelina? Thats only tabloid gossip! The truth is that Brad’s parents have spent more time with Brad when he hooked up with Angelina. Brad made sure they visit them in MO and vice versa. In fact, Brad’s parents spent more than a month in France with them.
There has never been a time when Brad’s parents spent more than one week with them while Brad was still with Jennifer. And Brad would often visit MO without Jennifer, not in the case with Angelina, they always visit together with the kids.

ja ja, you come on to a JP thread to make snide to openly nasty comments about people you don’t know and you DARE to talk about Jesus who chastised and mocked the Pharisees on their hypocrisy and asked that they without sin throw the first stone and judge an adulterous?
Call me amazed at your hypocrisy!!!. I thought I’ve seen it all on cyber space but obviously not.
You aren’t by any chance the devil who uses God’s words against jesus are you? LOL
You need to read what Brad said about religion long before he met Angelina.Brad Said he’s mother knows not to tell him what to do.Where was Brad’s christian family when he was going out with a very young girl,where were they when he was smoking weed and getting drunk.have you look at the number of girls Brad has gone out with.Where are Brad’s parents now, with Angelina in France.

Wether you like it or not MONEY is always at the basis of votes and is the primal key of power.
The American government through Bill Gates influence policy, especially within the International Health Organizarion where the biggest amount is from its foundation. I should know, my boyfriend worked there as a top international scientist and told me how the American government influence where and how the money should be spend, even suspend some further last steps of the cure because it wasn’t beneficial for them or as a pressure to certain government, letting die millions of Africans in the process who could benefit for the cheap cure and then accelerated the process when their boys in Irak were strikken by a viral case of malaria. It’s all about the money cause money is power.
The bigger the money, the bigger the tools to influence votes ! That’s why candidates have fund raisers !

We don’t judge people by their religion but with what they do and their accomplishment. There are phony Christians out there — ones that are only by name, not action.
Angelina did things in her past, but God allow people a second chance — a chance to clean up and change. She has been doing marvelously well for herself and for the less fortunate and has kept it that way for years now. Pitt’s family has come to love and accepted her. They see that she makes Brad happy. On the other hand, Jennifer, who is years older than Jolie, has not really done much “Christian” has she? Her lying to Brad when still married, her using guys after her divorce, her still abusing drugs and alcohol and she still hasn’t been of big service to mankind but herself because as she said, “Charity is just not my thing,” God said that a real Christian is selfless.
Jolie = selfless…… Aniston = self-centered, selfish and self-absorbed.
With Aniston Brad was a wussie, a girlie boy who hided his masculinity behind his beauty, just like she still hides her stupidity behind her body !
Now he is a man in charge who has the courage and guts to fight his battles (wether we like them or not) in the name of justice.
That’s what MACULINE stands for ! That’s what makes you a man when you are not scare to take a stand publicly even if they are controversial. He is a natural leader just like Angelina.
His X is still a coward cow, a sheep and a follower of the masses, the one who always hide in the last row of a group while unjustifiably reaping of the benefits she clearly didn’t deserve as she wasn’t the one who took the risky first step.
So true about brad and his parents, brad and angie have spent more time with his parents than he ever did while married to leather face,deal with it, she gave jane or bill no grandchildren, lol, you trolls still can’t come up with an explanation for that,lol
Brad for President! ;)
too bad maniston couldn’t bore any twins,lol
Watch out brad the jenhens are getting upset again that you dumped their idol,lol
I don’t know what’s the problem with the jenhens. Brad’s actually giving Maniston the chance to come out and shout to the world that she’s actually a MAN!
So come on jenhags, don’t hate - appreciate! Brad’s being nice.
It’s a full moon and the Jenhen’s are crazier than ever,lol.
Brad,you make me proud to be a fan!
oh dear god @ 09/18/2008 at 5:32 am
=========
You are an ass. What “cause” are you talking about that do not benefit from Brad?? Don’t talk **** just because you hate somebody give a factual info and not something you just take out from your smelly ass. ANd please stop pretending to know Brad Pitt you don’t live with him up close and personal you knew only what you read from the posts in FF and D-listed… both site popular with the INSANE HAGS JENNILOONIES .
you rock, Brad! So Agree!!! Way to go, I love you!! We need more celebritys like him and angie!!!!
so if he cares so much about marriage, why isnt he married ? ….makes no sense………..like the 3 stacked garden sheds………….
Ms Nasel Drip is a self centered twit and thank God Brad woke up and found Angelina. Together Brad and Angelina have accomplished so much and I simply adore them. I don’t recall Brads past anything worth talking about really, do you? Jolies humanitarian efforts began before Brad entered the picture, she has a wonderful heart.
#194 ohh duh @ 09/18/2008 at 7:06 am ..Could you please respond to the hater without recopying his/her/it’s post?It was bad enough reading that crap the first time.
#196 anon @ 09/18/2008 at 7:18 am …You are the one who makes “no sense.” This issue has to do with discrimination.Try using reading comprehension skills.
You know I actually was going to respond to pusy cat doll=ja-bet but then I decided it is never nice to make fun of cretins without my morning caffiene.
