Actor Brad Pitt says he doesn't get gay
marriage bans.
The 45-year-old Pitt dropped in
Thursday on NPR's interview show Fresh Air to pitch his Billy
Beane biopic Moneyball, which opens nationwide Friday,
September 23.
During the interview, host Terry Gross
asked Pitt whether the lack of marriage equality throughout the
United States was the reason for him not marrying partner Angelina
Jolie.
“You've said that you and Angelina
Jolie will not marry until it's legal for all Americans to marry.
It's a statement of support of marriage equality. So, was that
always your reason for not marrying? In other words, if gay marriage
is made legal in the United States, does that mean you're going to
marry tomorrow?” Gross asked.
“That's a fair question,” Pitt
responded. “We're getting a lot of heat from the kids. I hope we
can hold out. But I agree with the statement. I think … it's
absolute out and out discrimination. I don't understand how you can
dictate that, you can confine someone else that way. It's life,
liberty and happiness. And that's the country we live in. And let's
support that.”
