Brad Pitt's Mother Pens Anti-Gay Letter

[WillParkinson]

The Letter:

I have given much thought to Richard Stoecker’s letter (“Vote for Mormon against beliefs,” June 15). I am also a Christian and differ with the Mormon religion.

But I think 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.

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.

I hope all Christians give their vote prayerful consideration because voting is a sacred privilege and a serious responsibility.

There's no confirmation that this Jane Pitt is indeed Brad Pitt's mother, but if it is, this could prove embarrassing for the actor.

UPDATE from Missouri gay group PROMO, via comments: "I'm with the state advocacy group PROMO. The News-Leader did confirm that it is in fact Brad's Mother."

1. I have a feeling Branjolina is not going to be happy with mom about this.

yuck

[DCKit]

2. Mom, STFU, Brad.

He's not going to let this pass without comment.

3. It looks like each one of them has a wacked out bagger for a parent

It must make for interesting holidays.

4. Jeez , How embarrassing. nt

[amuse bouche]

5. If she didn't have a famous son

no one would give two hoots about her. She would just be another run of the mill right wing bigot

[no_hypocrisy]

6. I don't think it would bother Brad if it were in fact his mother.

Angelina Jolie has her father, Jon Voight, popping up from time to time with stuff that is antithetical to her beliefs.

So both Brad and Angelina have parents that say stupid things.

8. They are both pretty immune to this sort of thing

It's sad, though that they have to endure it. I still think it's a fake (I hope it is - it's rather vicious).

7. Okay, Mom

You are just like every other mom that is a religious nutjob, and your kids look at you askance. It's not your business to judge your son and his wife, or their kids. If you can't just love them, then you are the problem, not your son, daughter-in-law and their children, and I think everyone, LGBT, can speak up for that.

That said, I'll wait for retractions.

9. Brad is wonderful on gay issues...

Glad his crackpot Mom didn't influence him.

10. Oh goddesses! Please tell me that I am not responsible for the thoughts and comments

of the people who I somehow share DNA with. I have never understood how my DNA could be intertwined with those racist bigots, but it is. Please, I can't even begin to explain their thoughts!

11. There are members of my family that would probably agree with her (not many but a few)

Thats their problem and doesn't reflect on me for sharing a common bloodline. I really can't see how its supposed to embarrass him that his mom is a nutcase-he's been a good friend of the LGBT community. This doesn't change my opinion of him but it really looks like he's risen above what he learned from his momma. Good for him.

12. Now we know why Brad, Anthony Hopkins and Aidan Quinn sent her back to Boston...

... in Legends of the Fall.

She's fucking nuts.

"Couldn't take the Montana winters" - my ass.
