How COOL is this man?!

I'm talking about Brad Pitt, who just announced that he and Angelina Jolie (so I should really say, How cool is this couple) will only get married when everyone else in the US who wants to is legally allowed to do so. He's talking about us, guys, gays and lesbians:

Brad Pitt, ever the social activist, says he won't be marrying Angelina Jolie until the restrictions on who can marry whom are dropped.

"Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able," the 42-year-old actor reveals in Esquire magazine's October issue, on newsstands Sept. 19.

In the article he reflects on "fifteen things I think everyone should know."

Now, that's making a statement. The media is always all over them to find out when they're gonna tie the knot, and so now, that too becomes a moot point.

And he had some good words for adoptive parents as well:

Though Shiloh, the world-famous daughter of Pitt and girlfriend/earth mother Angelina Jolie, hogged much attention upon her birth in May, Pitt says he "cannot imagine life" without adopted children, Maddox, 5, and Zahara, 1.

"They're as much of my blood as any natural born, and I'm theirs," says Pitt. "That's all I can say about it. I can't live without them. So: Anyone considering (adoption), that's my vote."

What a great guy.
