In a new interview with W Magazine, Brad Pitt briefly touches upon the subject of gay marriage — and why those who are against it are taking for granted their own freedoms.
“People who are against gay marriage do not understand the very freedoms that they themselves are enjoying,” he argues. “What if someone said, ‘Sorry, no Christianity here? No Judaism. Certainly no Mormons.’ No one would stand for that, and I wouldn’t allow anyone to say that either. I’d fight them in the same way.”
Late last year, Pitt donated $100k to fight California’s Prop 8 banning gay marriage. While that battle was lost, the effort to extend freedom of marriage to gays and lesbians continues. It’s only a matter of time before such injustice is righted.
