Brad Pitt has donated $100,000 to the Human Rights Campaign in support of marriage equality. The superstar actor’s donation could not have come at a more critical time with Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington State all voting on the issue next Tuesday.
Pitt said in an email to HRC supporters, “If you’re like me, you don’t want to have to ask yourself on the day after the election, what else could I have done?” He and Angelina Jolie have been huge supporters of gay marriage … going so far as to put their own marriage on hold until gay marriage is legal on a national level.
Pitt joins other super stars like Russel Simmons, Cyndi Lauper, Mayor Michale Bloomberg and dozens of other celebrities in giving to the marriage equality cause this past year. In fact, dozens of celebrities have appeared in videos supporting the HRC.
