Brad Pitt’s mum writes an anti-gay marriage letter, standing in the way of her son’s wedding to Angelina Jolie

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie surprised us all by getting engaged earlier this year, after openly stating that they wouldn’t tie the knot until same sex marriage is legal across the States.

The couple are still hoping to hold out until this is the case â€" with Brad revealing that no date has been set for the big day. The actor said in May: “We truly have no date. I'm still hoping we'll figure out our marriage equality in the States before then.”

So, why then, is Brad’s mum indirectly standing in the way of the best showbiz wedding ever (well, since his first one) by writing an anti-gay marriage letter to a newspaper in America?

Not only is s he directly opposing a cause that her son works tirelessly for, but her comments could delay their ceremony even more. Why, Jane, WHY?

Ange is very close to Brad's mum - here they are bonding

 

In the letter that she wrote to her local paper, the Springfield News-Leader, on Tuesday, Jane Pitt described herself as a “Christian [who differs] with the Mormon religion.”

She added: "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.”

Mrs Pitt went on: “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.”

But Brad loves Obama â€" he goes to his house to hang out and everything!

See! Here's Brad at the White House. Pretty cool, huh?

 

There was a lot of confusion after Jane’s letter was published, with some doubt about whether it was actually Brad’s mum.

However, the newspaper confirmed that it WAS written by the showbiz mom, releasing the following statement: “Editor's note: To clear up earlier confusion, the News-Leader has verified the letter writer is the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt.”
