A couple of months ago there was a bit of a furore over a letter Brad Pitt’s mom sent to her local newspaper, where she said Barack Obama’s support for marriage equality was one good reason not to vote for him.
However Brad’s support for both Obama and gay marriage is undimmed, telling The Telegraph at a recent screening of his forthcoming film Killing Them Softly, that ‘Gay marriage is inevitable. The next generation, they get it. It is just a matter of time before it becomes a reality.’ He adds, ‘I am an Obama supporter and I’m backing his election campaign.’
While that that means he and his mom and going to have to agree to disagree, Brad has long shown his support for equality, releasing messages in support of New York enacting equal marriage legislation, starring in a reading of Dustin Lance’s Black play 8 and vowing not to marry Angelina Jolie until everyone can wed (although he’s since said he might not be able to keep to that one).
