Brad Pitt's Brother Responds to Mom's Anti-Gay Letter

Brad Pitt‘s brother Doug has spoken out about their mother Jane‘s anti-gay and anti-Obama letter that she recently wrote as an opinion piece for a Missouri newspaper.

“You know, I think moms and dads and kids agree to disagree all over the world. So why would our family be any different?” Doug said during an appearance on Today (via THR). “There can be healthy discussion when people disagree with you. The bad thing is when it turns to venom and negativity, and we don’t have that in our family. It’s open discussion. We can learn from each other and, if anything, it solidifies your point. Or maybe you learn something.”

Doug appeared on the show to promote his new role as the spokesperson for Virgin Mobile Australia.
