Brad Pitt turns the big 5-0 today. 50. 50! We can hardly believe it. It seems like just yesterday we were fawning over the blonde-haired, blue-eyed twink in 1991’s Thelma & Louise.
Since breaking out in that role, Pitt has gone on to nab four Academy Award nods, five Golden Globe nods (and one win), marry Jennifer Aniston, hook up with Angelina Jolie, divorce Jennifer Aniston, become a father many times and become a champion for LGBT rights.
In 2006, Pitt told Esquire magazine that he and Jolie wouldn’t officially tie the knot until marriage equality was achieved across America, a promise they’ve so far kept. In 2008, he donated $100,000 to the campaign against Prop. 8, the ballot initiative that banned same-sex marriage in California. And in 2012, he appeared in a performance of Dustin Lance Black‘s play 8, a staged reenactment of the federal trial that overturned Prop. 8.
On top of all that, he’s sinfully good-looking.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
So we thought we’d take a moment to celebrate the sexy stud. Happy Birthday, Mr. Pitt! Here’s to many more!

Rumour has it that the penis spliced in between frames of Fight Club was Brad’s.

blehhhh … have never much cared for him

I do recall a barefoot, no shirt picture of a squatting Brad in white sweats that was published in People in the 80’s but have not been able to find it. Anyone, class, anyone?

@Zodinsbrother: Too big.

He once said he would retire at 50, hope he’s a man of his word.

@jckfmsincty: Actually, comparing the shot with the nude pics of him, it’s a very good match.

While the pics of him, especially that rear one on the motorcycle, give me a good strong tingle, my admiration for Brad Pitt is tremendous. He could have very easily been just another pretty face a la Jennifer Aniston but he has grown into a substantial human being. I am sure a good deal of the credit is due to Angelina Jolie. Beyond the looks is a fine father, human rights advocate, and apparently loving partner. KUDOs to him.

SMA! Your life must be a real trip to hell.

What has Brad Pitt ever done for the gay community. He never played an important gay role, for instance. He’s one of these guys who never really helped the gay community in my view.

He has most always come across as a class act. My favorite look for him was in “A River Runs Through It”…dreamy!

@Queerty, now you are even censoring buttocks?! Are you twelve?

@jimbryant: Is that what everything comes down to? What has someone done for you? I hope the community isn’t like that. Fuck, nothing would get done.
