Brad Pitt Donates Money to Support Gay Marriage

[OneFinger]

According to the local news:

 

Brad Pitt has donated $100,000 to fight California's November ballot initiative that would overturn the state Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage...

 

"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 Wednesday.

Congrats and kudos to Brad on his generous support!!

The owner of a San Diego hotel gave $125,000 to the pro-Prop 8 people. Surely Brad could have topped that! But still, it's a little more than I gave.

New polling results were released today-

Lucky,

 

You beat me to the punch (posting) on the Bruce Bastian donation of $1M.

 

Glad to see you're keeping up on the latest happenings in Zion.

The Wall Street Journal today has an article on how Mormons are strongly supporting Prop 8, with more than 40% of the money raised for it coming from Mormons. Mormons declining to donate are being told that their souls would be in jeopardy if they didn't.

 

The Manchester Hyatt in San Diego is being boycotted by some for supporting 8, but what about the Marriott chain? Aren't they the largest Mormon owned hotel chain, as well as one of the largest purveyors of pornography in the country? Talk about having it both ways.

> Talk about having it both ways.

 

Excellent suggestion! I remember my first escort three-way where I had it both ways for nearly an hour. It happened with two of the guys who used to post in The Deli. I thought I'd died and gone to heaven, and I'd have married them both if I could.

 

Come to think of it, that might bring the Mormons back under the tent as well. :-)
