Brad Pitt on Gay Marriage

I figure folks could use a end-of-week smile! Check out the 60-second clip from Ellen where Brad Pitt speaks out against Prop 8 back in 2008.

I don’t think it has any place in our definition of America.

Couldn’t agree with you more, Brad. These propositions and amendments have no place in our constitution. Thanks to all of the folks that lend their voices to this fight. Keep telling your story and speaking out. That’s how we will defeat these mean-spirited measures.

Anne Hathaway and Gay Marriage

Anne Hathaway quote

I was scrolling through some posts this morning and I stumbled upon this. Of course, being curious, I used Google to learn more about the work and support Anne Hathaway is doing around Gay Marriage.

I must say, I was happy to read about an open letter to President Barack Obama that Ms. Hathaway added her name to last year urging the President to readdress his stance on gay marriage.

In February, you made a powerful statement about the law. We ask you now for your leadership on ending the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage – an exclusion that harms millions of Americans each day. Whether to end discrimination in marriage is a question America has faced before, and faces again today.

The letter was also signed by other celebs including Ellen and Jane Lynch.

Thank you, Anne.
