Mega-star Brad Pitt lent his glitter to the proponents of same-sex marriage in Maryland today, giving $25,000 to the campaign for Question 6.
The donation is part of a $100,000 gift to the Human Rights Campaign, a national organization that is promoting same-sex marriage in all four states where it is on the ballot. It comes at a good time for supporters, who reported last week they have only $22,000 in the bank.
Pitt is the latest in a lengthy list of bold faced names who are supporting Maryland's same-sex marriage effort. A fundraiser held in New York City earlier this year included so many A-listers that one insider said it was like being at a "petting zoo for celebrities."
Pitt and his fiancee Angelina Jolie are longtime supporters of same-sex marriage and once said they would not marry until it is legal in all 50 states.
Pitt's mother, however, has publicly taken the opposite position. She wrote a letter to editor of the News-Leader in Virginia expressing her opposition generally to gay marriage.

Last time I checked the 2 idiotic morons in the anti-Gay marriage TV commercial are not citizens of Maryland either. They are being paid by out of state interests to tell outright lies about the law in trying to influence people with fear and bigotry. All Brad Pitt did was put his money where his beliefs are. Brad definitely wins this one hands down.

These liberal Hollywood types promote sex, drugs and Anti Religious views. The liberal media and liberal politicians like Gov O'Mally are right there with these Anti American Porn Merchants.
