Celebrity Justice
Pete Wentz Gives Props to Gays

Posted Sep 29th 2008 6:00PM by TMZ Staff

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.

17. Anyone not understanding that if YOU can get married yet you deny someone else that same right is an IDIOT. a la Sarah Palin for Student Council Vice President!

Justice for all - that is one of the cornerstones of our DEMOCRACY.
Those who don't believe gays/lesbians should marry when they should - well I say get the heck out of OUR great US of A. Otherwise, you deserve to be water boarded.

Over ... and end of story!

18. the majority of people have already decided which way to vote, if they do vote. I think most of these celebrities donate money to not for profit groups to placate the groups. How many people have not decided how they would vote? On one side, you have religious people who feel it is wrong and homophobes. the other side you have gays and liberals.(and celebrities who are trying to get press time). I wish that these people would not get much press-100K is not much at all to them, they take the easy way out on making groups happy. Why aren't anyone of them making a commercial against the proposition. Oh-pete wentz has to be at least bi-he is more feminine the his wife.

19. Ashlee may as well face the facts that she is just a gay man's cover.

20. First, gays are allowed to marry. Next, it's the polygimists, followed shortly by the incest freaks, and the backwoods sicko who LOVES his goat. This is only the begining. After all, "Justice for All" is what all you liberals want right? Well, lets just sit back and watch it all unravel.
