Brad Pitt: I'll marry when everyone can



Brad Pitt, ever the social activist, says he won't be marrying Angelina Jolie until the restrictions on who can marry whom are dropped.

"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor reveals in Esquire magazine's October issue, on newsstands Sept. 19.

In the article he reflects on "fifteen things I think everyone should know."

Though Shiloh, the world-famous daughter of Pitt and girlfriend/earth mother Angelina Jolie, hogged much attention upon her birth in May, Pitt says he "cannot imagine life" without adopted children, Maddox, 5, and Zahara, 1.

"They're as much of my blood as any natural born, and I'm theirs," says Pitt. "That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So: Anyone considering (adoption), that's my vote."

Pitt, who plays a world traveler in the upcoming drama "Babel," subscribes to a laid-back parenting style.

"I try not to stifle them in any way," he says. "If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."

Lucky kids.

"I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them," he continues. "I really like that last minute before they fade off. And always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, `You have three more minutes.'

l "If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."

What a clever way not to commit!!!! Play the martyr for the gay community and AJ loves him for his commitment to activism.

I think it's great. That's how I feel too. I shouldn't be allowed to tie the knot if everyone can't.

That's not to say I'll ever have the desire to get married, though.

Yikes.

Wow.

Some of you people sure hate celebs. They just can't do anything right or worthwhile, can they?

I am just one of many people that don't worship at the altar of celebrity.

The motives of celebrities seem to be an agenda setting thing really to get people talking. What I don't get is Brad Pitt knocks up Angelina Jolie and although marriage is not an institution for everyone, to boldly state that he won't get married for x reasons is a bit pretentious. When celebrities get involved in the world of politics, good for them. But this revelation by Mr. Pitt reeks of "Look at me!"

That's cool. Neither am I.

I guess I just don't get why some people invest time in responding at all. Bash them or worship them, it's all the same to me. It just gives them the attention they seek.

And actually, I see nothing wrong with people wanting attention. If I did, I wouldn't have responded to your thread cuz, really...we all post and start threads on here for attention. We all scream "Look at me!"

This thread is useless without pictures. Like I wanna READ about Brad Pitt.

this is really nothing new for him, he's always been pro-gay. he has been very good friends with melissa etheridge since the beginning

....Brad/Anjolina are a waste of time.
