Brad Pitt's Mom Writes an Anti-Gay Letter: Which Celebrity Has the Most Embarrassing Parent?

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?

    You are a foul-mouthed poster, however, & that can't be good.

    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.

    Your previous diatribe was YOU telling me what YOU think I can & cannot say on the subject. You then make the pithy remark, "suit yourself". My response to that was sarcasm, because you INDEED have no authority over what I actually can say or not say. I CHOSE not to answer your questions because you felt it was necessary to give me parameters in which to answer your questions. Because I am independent of you, I chose to move on & allow your questions to go unanswered.

    I'm glad we now have this under control & we both can move on with our lives . . .

    How about live and let live. You would think people should have better things to do than worry about the sexual orientation of others. I cannot wrap my head around gay marriage either, but it is not for any of us to judge.

    I am not judging them. The Bible judges their actions, they know our stance on the issue, and they refuse to change. Believe me, I don't "worry" about their sexual orientation, because in truth, their actions are only hurting themselves. What I DO have an issue with is the ever-growing acceptance of their lifestyle, the harmful example these adults are setting for young children, and their special interest groups and lobbyists pushing their agendas on young schoolchildren as a way of conditioning them to grow up well-acquainted with homosexuality.

    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 pr...

    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.

    okay...so I watched the video clip and I think these kids were given more information than necessary in their age groups. The only mention of the gay or lesbian life style in elementary school, should be in regard to tolerance of others. The issue of legality or morality is not something they need to be thinking about. Homosexuality has existed since the beginning of time and it has not now or ever surpassed heterosexulity. It has always been there, it was just in the closet. People are much more open about being gay in todays' world.
    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.

    Simply put, marriage is a religious matter, not a state matter. The govt. should never have anything to do with marriage.
    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.

    The gays are asking for "civil unions", their not calling it marriage or saying anything about being married. They have not asked that any church or synogogue marry them either. I believe they just want the legal ramifications of a marriage. They are not asking for Gods blessings, just his grace,although it would be nice to think that God might re-write that book.

    Marriage stops being solely a religious matter when you get certain... ramifications, I guess, by the state, because of your status as a married couple. That's what they want, not the religious recognition (though, for some, I'm sure that would be nice as well). The state recognizes your spouse as your next of kin, for example, and they get everything that comes with it (the first call if you're in the hospital, ect.)

    And therein lies the problem. This is where many things need to change and the list is long. Marriage has been hi-jacked by the govt. for so many things that it is quite daunting.
    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.

    Black issues are the same way. The only difference about homosexuality is that the civil rights movement for LGBT people hasn't fully achieved its goals of social equality, therefore more people speak out against it. And yes, that is the ONLY difference. Back when slavery was legal, "men of god" would preach how the slaves should love there owners and that god thought their enslavement was okay. Nowadays, god thinks that the mistreatment of gays is okay. Coinsidence? I don't think so.

    You're forgetting something important...

    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
  • Party B... BerryColor 2012/07/08 21:03:30
    Party Boy [A7X Bat]
    Same with slavery. It was normal to enslave black people and treat them like property. But then the push to redefine what normal treatment of a black person was caused the Civil War. Think about it, simply redefining what a black person was worth in society caused the country to split in two and go to was with itself. And was the push for LGBT rights succeeds, it won't be long before its in the history books, just like the push for black rights. Which, by the way, PLENTY of people didn't handle very well. So much so, that we still have racists in this country who were raised by racist parents who just couldn't accept black equality.

    Homosexual isn't a race. We all came from Adam and Eve. Life would cease to exist if we were all gay. So this comes as a radicals argument to degrade society. "#26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy." Not to mention the physical and mental health issues associated with homosexuality.

    Oh please save your incomparable manipulation for someone else. It's offensive to black people lumping the two as identical. That tactic was invented by extremists and nihilists and the like. Homosexuality is a behavior, not a race or DNA. Some might have fallen for the few decades of radical agenda, but not everyone is going to cower and allow further erosion of society with something that is basically a mental illness or vice, like alcoholism or depression. It doesn't help them, it doesn't help anyone. It's destructive.

    cower erosion society basically mental illness vice alcoholism depression destructive

    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.

    And that is exactly what has made this country divided again. The racist came out in the open and out of the wood work to disrespect our very capable and intelligent president. Not too much has changed since the civil war. Racism is just more blatant now and more mobile, and it is like the republican party is at the head of the charge.

    You're messing my point...black people are the majority in Africa for example...they have other issues but being a minority isn't one of them (excluding South Africa)

    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.
  • Party B... BerryColor 2012/07/14 06:34:57
    Party Boy [A7X Bat]
    I absolutely don't expect the majority of people to process it the same way, but I do hope that one day LGBT people and supporters will greatly outnumber those who irrationally hate them. That way, the haters wouldn't have much power to abuse in order to make hateful laws against LGBT people. And what's more pathetic is that some of these vile people hide behind their god and actually see there actions as righteous and good, justified by their god. It sickens me to see religion used in such a hateful way, when I do recall a passage in the bible stating that one should not judge others, or be judged themselves. The ignorance and hate is something I know the world could do without. Hatred has rarely ever caused anything but conflict, even war.
