Brad Pitt has long been an advocate for gay rights (initially vowing to hold off on marrying longtime love Angelina Jolie until gay marriage became legal nationwide), but his mother, Jane Pitt, takes a different side on the issue.
In a letter written to the local newspaper, Jane urged Christian voters not to be put off by the US presidential candidate Mitt Romney's Mormon faith, saying that he still maintains conservative views in line with Christian beliefs despite his differing religion -- including his posture on gay marriage and abortion.
"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," she wrote in the opinion piece for The Springfield News-Leader this week.
Jane added 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."
