Social activists and Hollywood icons Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have decided to make an enormous personal sacrifice in order to bring national attention to a major injustice in the manner by which marriage is sanctioned in American law and culture.

Regarding his plans to marry Angelina Jolie, Pitt said, "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."

He is obviously referring to gay marriage and while Pitt undoubtedly deserves some sort of an award for altruistic good intent, his actual deeds need more 'Oomph.'

To really make a difference, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt should declare themselves totally celibate until men can marry men, women can wed women.

There's your real sacrifice.

By eschewing intimacy until all living things are able to marry whomever and whatever they choose, Pitt will make a statement much more profound than if he were to douse himself in gasoline and light a match.

And with gasoline selling for more than $3 dollar a gallon, Pitt should do the prudent thing by telling Angelina “No Thanks” the next time she gets that bedroom look in her beautiful brown eyes!

Can Brad and Angie really make the sacrifice and abstain from sex?
