Actor Brad Pitt talks about gay civil rights
Brad Pitt:"I have love in my life, a soul mate absolutely. When someone asked me why Angie and I don't get married, I replied, Maybe we'll get married when it's legal for everyone else." I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it--hate mail from religious groups," Pitt revealed. "I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I've had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment."
