Brad Pitt announced today that he’s giving $100,000 to fight Proposition 8, which is designed to end California’s same-sex marriage rights:
"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 said in a statement.
Pitts’ donation is the largest thus far by any A-list celeb, gay or straight.
Elton and Ellen, where are you?

Wow. I wonder who Brad Pitt wants to gay-marry.
Brad and Teddy, sittin’ in a tree…
Wasn’t the scuttlebutt that Pitt-Jolie agreed not to marry until gays can do so?
Isn’t this a testament of his love, if true?
Damn. He’s not my type, but with that kind of proof of affection, I could be persuaded.
“Elton and Ellen” and the equally Honorable James Hormel, Swig Family, Gavin Newsom, Willie Brown, and a host of other celebrity level San Franciscans.
Wonderful post Lisa!
(((((Teddy)))))
Dream on. Tom Cruise, for sure.
Oh, yeah, I’ve seen the trailers for the new Coen/Cohen? Brothers movie.
Anjelina Jolie is some competition though, don’t ya think?
Markos has a great Obama YouTube clip on his current front page post and the Huff Post headline of the moment is equally worth a quick peek.
