I will confess that I have been a fan of Brad Pitt ever since I first saw him on the big screen. His social consciousness and philanthropic endeavors certainly help seal the deal. The icing on the cake is his strong stance on marriage equality. Pitt has released the following statement to People magazine in the wake of the New York marriage equality vote on June 24th. Here is the statement:*
"It is encouraging that New York has joined the movement to grant equal marriage rights to its citizens. But it is each American's Constitutional right to marry the person they love, no matter what state they inhabit. No state should decide who can marry and who cannot. Thanks to the tireless work of so many, someday soon this discrimination will end and every American will be able to enjoy their equal right to marriage."

Pitt has previously stated that he and Angelina Jolie will not get married until everyone had the same right.
