Awhile back, head celebrity supercouple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie declared that they wouldn’t make their union official until every gay person in the U.S. of A could get legally married. This was a nice gesture (fuck, my straight friends never even gave it a damn thought when THEY got married pre-it being legal here in Mass.) but then he went and made himself a lie-teller!
From his interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
“We’d actually like to,” he says of his seven-year partner, Jolie, “and it seems to mean more and more to our kids. We made this declaration some time ago that we weren’t going to do it till everyone can. But I don’t think we’ll be able to hold out. It means so much to my kids, and they ask a lot. And it means something to me, too, to make that kind of commitment.” Has he asked Jolie to marry him? “I’m not going to go any further,” says Pitt. “But to be in love with someone and be raising a family with someone and want to make that commitment and not be able to is ludicrous, just ludicrous.”
I’m choosing to read that last sentence as railing against the fact that gays can only get married in a tiny amount of states, not whining that he can’t put on a tux again and walk his corpse bride down the aisle because of his previous declaration.
Honestly, shit changes. If he wants to avoid a teachable moment with his needy ass child brigade (“Why Mommy and Daddy can’t get married because their gay friends can’t…”) so they can be ring-bearers and flower girls – it’s fine. I’m more concerned with the fact that goblin Jonah Hill got nominated for an OSCAR. AN OSCAR. Tilda Swinton, Michael Fassbender, and Patton Oswalt are roaming around feeling unloved and the star of Night At The Museum: Battle Of The Smithsonian got a fucking Oscar nod. Die, Hollywood, Die!
