Brad Pitt's mom Jane Pitt behind anti-Obama, anti-gay letter to Missouri newspaper

Brad Pitts mom has written an anti-gay, anti-Obama letter to a Missouri newspaper.

Despite Brads strong support of gay marriage, Jane Pitt calls the president "a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage" in a letter to the Springfield News-Leader.

The letter, which is a response to an opinion piece in the newspaper discussing if Christians should refuse to vote for Romney because he is a Mormon, Mrs. Pitt describes herself as "a Christian [who differs] with the Mormon religion."

Discussing Romney, Mrs. Pitt writes, "Any Christian should spend much time in prayer before refusing to vote for a family man with high morals, business experience, who is against abortion, and shares Christian conviction concerning homosexuality just because he is a Mormon."

Mrs. Pitt also writes, "Any Christian who does not vote or writes in a name is casting a vote for Romneys opponent, Barack Hussein Obama a man who sat in Jeremiah Wrights church for years, did not hold a public ceremony to mark the National Day of Prayer, and is a liberal who supports the killing of unborn babies and same-sex marriage."

The newspaper printed an editor's note reading, "To clear up earlier confusion, the News-Leader has verified the letter writer is the mother of actor Brad Pitt and local businessman Doug Pitt." A spokesperson for the newspaper told The Post that editors had checked the senders address and it corresponds with that of Jane Pitt.

Brad Pitt, a vocal supporter of Obama, had said he and Angelina Jolie would not wed until everyone i! n the US had the right to marry. But the pair announced their engagement in April.
