Gay marriage 1 – Religion 0

I’ve always had a soft spot for Brad Pitt, ever since I saw Tom Cruise bite into his neck in Interview with the Vampire and envied him. Cruise, that is.

Nice to see that Pitt has dismissed religion as something that “just doesn’t work” for him.

And he sums up religion’s propensity for stepping on others’ freedoms thus: “. . . the freedom that allows you to practise religion is the same freedom you’re stepping on.”

While religion doesn’t make sense, he says, gay marriage does.

  1. I know what you mean about Brad Pitt. I just want to give him a great big bear hug.

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
