Brad Pitt may be a proud supporter of President Obama, but his mama sure isn’t – and she just took steps to make sure everyone knows it.
Jane Pitt calls the president “a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage” just months after her famous son revealed his support of Obama in a cover story for "The Hollywood Reporter".
According to the trade magazine, Mrs. Pitt’s anti-gay letter urging Christians to vote for Mitt Romney was printed today in Missouri newspaper "The Springfield News-Leader."
The letter — itself a response to another opinion piece in the newspaper justifying Christians’ rights to refuse to vote for Romney because he is a Mormon — identifies Mrs. Pitt as “a Christian [who differs] with the Mormon religion.”
But, Pitt continues, “any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon.”
Pitt goes on to write that “any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romney’s opponent, Barack Hussein Obama — a man who sat in Jeremiah Wright’s church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage.”
Along with Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt has long been an outspoken champion of gay rights. Pitt once told Ellen DeGeneres, “I’ve said that we would not be getting married until everyone in this country had the right to get married.” The two nevertheless announced their engagement in April, after seven years and six children together.
In January, Pitt said of his mother in a cover profile in "The Hollywood Reporter," “She’s very, very loving — very open, genuine, and it’s hilarious because she always gets painted in the tabloids as a she-devil. There’s not an ounce of malice in her. She wants everyone to be happy.”
In the same story, he revealed his own support of Obama in the upcoming presidential election.
