Hum, many are saying because he is gay. That he and Jolie are both gay and even though they make a mockery of having a hetrosexual relationship, it is all for show, for image. I think that infuriates people most about these two. Is doesn't matter how they choose to live their life but the manner that they present themselves as some saintly couple is in vain. They make a mockery of what a loving relationship should be.If marriage is so important to Brad to take a stand for it, maybe he should consider taking the walk down the isle himself. If he is gay and feels like he can't live the way he chooses, he doesn't do anything help gays rights by living in the closest and playing house and pretending he is hetrosexual with Jolie. it hits a nerve with most people that he would take a stand for something he obvioulsy has no respect for and doesn't believe in.
I know a gay man who I am very close to. He is part of my heart and soul. When I ask him how he feels about Brad standing up for gay rights, he rolls his eyes and feels he uses their hardships in life for his own image hype. He feels if he really wants to make an impact, he would stop pretending with Olive Oyl and just come out of the closest. Those who are embarrassed by their sexuality doesn't do anything to help those who choose to come out and suffer from public scrutiny because of their sexual preference.
This is such a private issue for most people. I don't understand Brad taking center stage with this. If he wanted to support gay rights, why not do it quietly? Why does there have to be a press release about it? Does he believe because he stands for it that everyone will take notice and change their mind on what they believe? Makes me shake my head. Drawing such attention to it could backfire in his face and those who support him. Drawing attention to it could bring those who oppose it out of the woodwork to take a stand against gay rights.
I honestly don't understand what he is trying to achieve by doing this? He should stand down. Both he and Jolie should. They have children they should take into consideration first. Worry about what is going on in their own backyard before taking on very personal matters for others. It comes across so very smug on him that he really believes because he will make a stand for this issue, his involvement will change the outcome. With the life he lives, it could very well do the opposite and backfire in the faces of the people who stand because it is important to them in their own life. Doesn't appear it will effect Brad's life no matter how it comes out.
I know the bottomline is that Brad cares, but, if I stand from a "general" point of view, it makes him look so very smug. Especially because he has made it clear "marriage" isn't important to him nor does he believe in it. So, it is a major contradiction for him to take a stand for gay marriage. Just makes no sense at all. Again, this is the "Jolie Effect" She has him so screwed up he appears to believe his own hype. I love Brad too much not to speak out about it.
