Brad Pitt Donates $100,000 To HRC's Gay Marriage Campaign

Brad Pitt Donates $100,000 To HRC's Gay Marriage Campaign

"Brad Pitt has always been a strong advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights, but his latest move might be his most profound yet.

As The Los Angeles Times is reporting, the Academy Award-nominated actor is donating $100,000 to the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) National Marriage Fund, which is focused on supporting initiatives in four states where same-sex marriage legislation will appear on the Nov. 6 ballot. Pitt's donation will be split evenly among Maine, Maryland and Washington, where ballot measures seek to legalize gay marriage, as well as Minnesota, where LGBT advocates are fighting an amendment which would effectively ban same-sex couples from tying the knot in the state's constitution."
