Pete Wentz Gives Props to Gays

Following in the heterosexual footsteps of Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg, Pete Wentz has contributed money to fight Prop 8 and keep same-sex marriage legal in California.

Although wife Ashlee Simpson (who is about to pop) was nowhere in sight, the Fall Out Boy showed up at a No on Prop 8 fundraiser at Gallery 1988 in Hollywood on Sunday. Other civil rights supporters in the house included "Scrubs" star Sarah Chalke and members of Linkin Park.

Pitt and Spielberg have contributed $100K each to stop the anti-gay ballot initiative. No word on how much Pete donated.

1. By my math Ashlee's only about 7 months pregnant. Is she really "ready to pop"?

2. Religion and politics aside, why on earth would ANYONE care who someone else marries as long as they are two consenting adults? Being gay is not a life choice, it's a fact of life. Why should anyone be denied the basic human rights this country was built on? Gay love and gay sex are two different things just like heterosexual love is not the same thing as straight sex. Hoepfully, any couple getting married have more going for them than just a sex life. Love is love. We should support any two people who love each other.

6. Getting married is about love and committment, not sex or "gettin wit" someone. People should be able to marry anyone they want. They aren't hurting anyone else. BTW, I'm a white female, 55 years old, a Christian and a life long registered Republican

7. You kinda have to wonder what kind of person supports gay marriage...There are three catagories...People that are from the gay community..people that have a gay relative so then they feel that they should support it..and the last catagory is Atheists...oh wait there is another catagory..people that have no opinion so they say "well I don't care'...I have two gay relatives and I don't support gay marriage..so people shouldn't feel that they have to support it just because of that..

8. Candice -- I'm so glad you are supportive of your gay family members. They must really love having you as their blood.
Gay marriage is a civil right no one is bringing up religion.Division of church and state 'MEMBA that?? Nobody is asking a church to change their rules, just for legal marriage under the law. You can still be a homophobe within the confines of your house of worship. LOVELY!

She's currently sharing love and commitment with her cats.

11. good for them. face it, once the government stepped in to provide civil and legal rights to married couples, it was no longer just a religious institution, but a civil one. for this reason, it's only fair and just to allow gays to marry.

13. #8, Candice, is a real bitch. A Hater.

I'm a gay guy and don't know much about Pete Wentz, but now that I see he's a cool, secure guy, I'm going to do an Internet search for his Website and buy his latest work. I like to support those who help support us.

Peace and Love to all.
