Brad Pitt and his fiancé, Angelina Jolie, are two of Hollywood’s most staunch social activists. She’s a U.N. Ambassador who’s constantly jetting off to some war-torn country to shed light on the terrible conditions. He’s an architecture aficionado, who helped ensure that green housing was built in New Orleans to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina. And up until recently when they gave into their brood of kids who allegedly begged them to tie the knot, they had vowed not to marry until everyone could, including gay couples.

But, apparently, the Pitt apple has fallen quite far from the family tree. One can only imagine his embarrassment when news broke that his mom had written a letter to the editor at the Springfield News-Leader in Missouri. It seems that Brad Pitt's mom, Jane Pitt, has very different views on gender equality than her liberal son. Here’s what she had to say, “Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama -- a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."
This might make for awkward holiday dinner conversation and probably left Brad Pitt a little red in the face. But it might not be the most humiliating thing a celebrity’s parent has ever done. Michael Lohan’s been in and out of more scrapes than even his notoriously troubled daughter Lindsay Lohan. Plus, he’s old enough to know better. Rihanna’s mom, Monica Braithwaite, embarrassed her by joking about the pop star’s rumored fling with Ashton Kutcher. And in her tell-all memoir, Kris Jenner aired her dirty laundry about the affair she had that ended her marriage with Robert Kardashian. Not only were her reality star kids left blushing over the details, but Khloe became the target of tabloid speculation that O.J.’s lawyer wasn’t really her birth father.
So Brad and his mom might stand on different sides of the issue. And he’ll probably have a lot of explaining to do to some of his high-profile gay and lesbian friends. But lots of families have conflicts over sensitive topics and manage to work through it privately. What do you think: Which celebrity has the most embarrassing parent?
Since you've told me what I CAN say & what I CAN'T say, I think I'll pass on answering your question. I'm not too fond of someone cursing, then asking a question, then telling me how I can or can't answer it.
Best wishes to you.
I'm glad we now have this under control & we both can move on with our lives . . .
I dread the day when I'll have to explain to my little daughter why the two men she saw were holding hands and kissing. I'll then have to explain why we believe such a thing is sin and that it is not right in God's eyes, and that just because something is legal doesn't make it moral. In effect, I'll be fighting for my daughter's mind and morals against the state-funded gay propaganda in schools AND legislation that makes it legal for them to marry in the first place. It's just another blow to parents in a world where mainstream media already has a firm grip on our children's hearts and souls.

It's not just marriage they want. They want to legitimize their lifestyle as "normal" and they want to be able to adopt. They are becoming the proverbial "hand that rocks the cradle" by way of their ever-growing influence in the media, schools, and politics. If it was just a matter of "live and let live" I'd be more than willing to let them live their own sinful lives. But they want the minds of our children as well! 20 or 30 years from now being gay will be just like being tall, or being blonde...in other words, absolutely normal! I don't want my daughter growing up thinking that is normal.
If you think I'm just being paranoid, do a search on gay propaganda in schools. They have been pandering to children for some time now, and it's only going to get worse. If all they wanted was marriage, I'd give it to them as a concession to simply leave the rest of us alone about it. But they have much bigger designs on our society.
Here's one link to get you started.

I am sure there have been many parents that have done everything right in raising their children, only for that child to realize they were gay. You cannot make someone gay by exposure to it. I really think it is a glitch in their wiring.
So what would you do if your daughter came to you and announced that she were a lesbian, inspite of your rearing of her. She would still be your child
that you loved at first sight. Would you turn your back on her? Would you beat it out of her? Would you send her to a shrink?
I don't think the gays are trying to take over or brainwash the masses. They just want to have the right to joint tax returns and hospital visits,but it should be up to a parent to have the gay discussion with their child, not the schools.
As Sebastian refers to the Bible, marriage is between a man and a woman. This is a mandate from our Father in Heaven.
He does allow us our agency. But with agency comes consequences and those are something we cannot change. Ever.
Taxes: Replace with consumption tax. This gets rid of status issues.
Next of kin: Each adult must fill out "will" of sorts to designate "next of kin"
Those are just two examples and I am sure everyone here can list many more.
@JP: As for God, His grace is for all. He has set forth the law and it is up to us to abide by that law. Every law that He has given us has blessings attached. He wants to bless us. We simply need to follow His Word.
He loves the homosexual just as much as he loves the heterosexual. He doesn't love the sin.
I'm sure that Brad knew where his mom stood before she told the public.
when you say "Black issues" you're speaking mostly about your American history with slavery, but when talking about homosexuality you're talking about re-defining what's normal for the ENTIRE humanity....so you can't expect people to handle these issues or process them the same way
For the revisionist history you and your friend are trying to propagate, republicans, from their founding until now, have always been champions of equality for black people, in spite of democrats' continued efforts to enslave them (as well as everyone else) while calling it caring.
besides...the issue of slavery was and is bigger than the U.S..it's as old as humanity and Africans weren't the only victims of it..
pre-Islamic Arab tribes for example would wage war on each other and enslave one another even though when comparing themselves to other races (including Caucasians or Red people as they used to call them) they'd still think they're the better race!!
Maybe people in America would process LGBT issues like they did with slavery and Civil Rights movement but you can't expect people worldwide to process it the same way and you shouldn't expect them to do so.
