NEW YORK Sep 8, 2006 (AP)— 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."

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."

Pitt, who plays a world traveler in the upcoming drama "Babel," subscribes to a laid-back parenting style.

"I try not to stifle them in any way," he says. "If it's not hurting anyone, I want them to be able to explore. Sometimes that means they're quite rambunctious."

Lucky kids.

"I feel it's really important to have that time to sit and talk to them," he continues. "I really like that last minute before they fade off. And always give them a heads-up before you jerk them out of something. You need to tell them, like, `You have three more minutes.'"

That's a pretty admirable attitude.
I don't know, I like Jennifer Aniston alright & all, but I like Brad Pitt so much more now that he's not with her.

that's very righteous of him, i believe he does care about all these causes he talks about.

but thinking about it on a personal level, if a man, especially the father of my kids, made a decision like that and told me he wouldnt marry me until everyone else can marry....id probably find myself thinking it was a very convienient excuse. NOT to say that that's what this is, but the issue of gays marrying doesnt seem like it has anything to do with a personal relationship between two people. id have to question how much a guy REALLY wants to marry who is using his 100% personal and private relationship to make a public statement. i think you can fight for that cause without doing that..

but then again im not angelina. maybe she's 1000% ok with him doing that, seems like she's in no rush to get married anyway so it probably wouldnt even make her think twice...

What about people who want to marry their pets, farm animals, daughters, brothers and inanimate objects??
