United States :

Brad Pitt has donated $100,000 to fight California’s November ballot initiative that would overturn the state Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

It’s the first time voters will be asked to decide the issue in either California or Massachusetts _ the states where gays have won the right to wed.

“Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn’t harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8,” Pitt said Wednesday.

Trevor Neilson, Pitt’s political and philanthropic adviser, told The Associated Press that Pitt was surprised that his colleagues in the entertainment industry had not donated more money to support the battle against Proposition 8.

Earlier in the week, Pitt and Angelina Jolie announced they donated $2 million to help fight HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis in Ethiopia.

When you have ample money in your kitty you donate for good reasons and then you donate for some stupid ones that appear good to you. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie keep donating huge chunks of money every now and then. They make for the perfect celebrity couple that has a large fan-base for reasons and for their looks.
In a way there is no stopping them and if Brad thinks that he has donated money for the right cause, so be it. We should accept it in the name of free living.

Atul you forget tha Angelina used to be a gay for a while. She had a female partner and was into a serious relationship with her. Maybe this donation stems from that experience.
Celebs have pots of money to donate but not everyone is a Opera Whinfry.

Radhika, it must have been Angelina who pressurized Brad to donate the money in the name of her old relationship. I would have commented in criticism of this act but then the fact that they also donate heartily for grieve-stricken people refrained me from doing so. I am waiting for them to donate money for another stupid reason and then I promise you that I would come out with my daggers. Lets spare them this time.
