Saw guy on fox defending it last night--as he said if you want to OK gay marriages--where do you draw the line? Hmmm I've heard that somewhere before.

If you wouldn't have mentioned polygamists, I wouldn't have thought that's what he was talking about?? I would have just assumed it was gay marriage. Seems a silly argument to me that he's not going to get married because Bill and Jon can't legally do the same. :shrug: I think Pitt is a great actor, but until this article, I knew nothing of his politics.

I will say that it does take special people to adopt unwanted kids, especially those from another race/culture.

Apologies if I was misleading with the title of the thread. Pitt was, of course, spouting the current pro-gay marriage talking point. The article had nothing to do with polygamy.

I was just messing around because when I hear that stupid line of, "I'll marry when everyone is allowed to," I just can't help but think that the same thing could be said by pro-polygamist folks. I just think it's a lame excuse by people who really don't want to get married because of different reasons.

As far as gay adoption goes, you are absolutely right, SixFive. My heart says that every child should have a chance at both a mother and father, but in the real world I think allowing gays to adopt does more good than harm. It is interesting that you bring up the race thing, because I've noticed a booming market for adoption in Russia and Eastern Europe. Lots of Americans are going over there to get white babies so that they don't have to adopt a non-white child back home.

ND, I reread my post and I don't see where I said it was cool for gay couples to adopt?? Brad and Angelina aren't gay as far as I can tell.

I certainly don't mind if Angelina is gay. In fact, I would pay good money to see proof of that...

:tongue

My mistake, SixFive. You were talking about Jolie specifically when you mentioned adoption. I thought you were talking about gay adoption, which is a big part of the desire for gay marriage.

I guess I should have know that you weren't *that* enlightened ;).
