Brad Pitt: I'll marry when everyone can

Brad Pitt, ever the social activist, says he won't be marrying Angelina Jolie until the restrictions on who can marry whom are dropped.

"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor reveals in Esquire magazine's October issue, on newsstands Sept. 19.

In the article he reflects on "fifteen things I think everyone should know."

Though Shiloh, the world-famous daughter of Pitt and girlfriend/earth mother Angelina Jolie, hogged much attention upon her birth in May, Pitt says he "cannot imagine life" without adopted children, Maddox, 5, and Zahara, 1.

"They're as much of my blood as any natural born, and I'm theirs," says Pitt. "That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So: Anyone considering (adoption), that's my vote."

Pitt, who plays a world traveler in the upcoming drama "Babel," subscribes to a laid-back parenting style.

"I try not to stifle them in any way," he says. "If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."

Lucky kids.

"I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them," he continues. "I really like that last minute before they fade off. And always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, `You have three more minutes.'"

everyone over 18 can legally marry.

They just can't always marry who they want.

I can't say I agree with his rationale, but I like the way he thinks.

"If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."

Translation: I'm raising brats who will be just as self-centered as their mother & me.

Brad Pitt must be waiting until Angelina Jolie can legally marry her brother.

If Angelina is as smart as she lets on, she'll run from this loser as fast as she can. I've heard of altarphobia before, but never any quite this disingenuous.

Civilized people should be glad that Brad Pitt is taking this stand - this keeps one more sham union from passing as marriage.

Folks such as Pitt forget that marriage was created by God as the union of a man and a woman. Man can imagine a vain thing, but he cannot recreate what God has created.

We should not coddle cretins who crave to curdle creation into their own twisted, tortured imitation of the real thing.

HA! I remember it now... it reminds me of the 'King of the hill' episode where Luann's boy friend (voiced by Tom Petty) said he couldn't marry her until he got a high school diploma (which he didn't really want).

Does anyone really care what a tattooed tart and her queerbait consort think?

You got it! A (gay) friend of mine once said to me (straight), "How would you feel if you couldn't marry the person you want to marry?" I replied, "Welcome to my world!"
