Brad Pitt Continues to Singlehandedly Save the World

I'll hand it to Brad Pitt.  He has done an excellent job of making everyone forget that he left his wife for another woman.  Granted, I'm sure his good deeds have nothing to do with polishing his image, but man, it is a nice side effect.

Pitt has donated $100,000 to fight an initiative to ban gay marriage in California.  According to E!Online, Pitt had this to say about his reasons for donating such a large chunk of change to the cause.  "Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8."

Pitt and his many, many baby-momma, Angelina Jolie have also stated that they will not marry until every single person in the US has the right to trade vows.  Really does make it hard to be angry at them, doesn't it?
