I find it somewhat disingenuous when folks like Brad Pitt and Charlise Theron say they won't get married until "all people can get married." At first glance it may seem great that we have allies in the fight for equality but in actuality they are simply making an excuse for not being responsible to their partners. One of the many arguments made by same-sex advocates is the need to accept responsibility for their partners and their relationship and that marriage alows them to do just that. To assume that "putting off" getting married is somehow helpful to gays flies is idiotic at best. Second, it makes for big headlines and nothing else. Third, Brad Pitt cheated on his wife to be with Jolie. This is not what I want in an ally. Thanks but no thanks Brad.
