The organizers of Straight Pride went on to erase their Brad Pitt links after being threatened with legal action on his insistence that he has no links to them. He made demands that the organizers with making use of his image as well as his name for the promotion of their movement.
Super Happy Fun America is a group that has recently been making use of Brad Pitt on their site where he is depicted as a mascot. Reports from TMZ claim that Pitt is threatening to take them to court if the links continue. It has been reported that the group made use of Brad Pitt’s image to promote an event and claimed that he was the face of their intended civil Rights movement. However, all images that are linked to him have been taken down.
The group has a controversial course that is being can painful. The use of Brad Pitt’s images leads the fifty-five-year-old to issue out threats of legal action. The decision of Super Happy Fun America to set up a Straight Pride campaign Comes after the Boston city council failed to approve a request sent in by the group with the aim of raising a straight flag.
The group claims that the reason for setting up a movement is to create awareness about matters concerning the straight community as well as the problems that the community faces. They also went on to say that the promotion of the community would best be achieved by organizing a parade. This would also be a way of promoting the history as well as culture and identity of the straight community.
The group has also claimed that they obtained the required permits needed to proceed with their event. However, this seems to be false as CBS Boston also claims that the city officials denied ever granting such permission.
The mention of Pitt is now redacted but he happens to be just one among other celebrities who have come out publicly to state their feelings about the idea. Chris Evans who starred in Captain America criticized the group and he did so via social media. He sarcastically pronounced the initiative as being cool. Then he went on to throw jibes at the group. He suggested that rather than going with the Straight Pride parade, the better option would be to use a caption that showed that they were desperately struggling with their homophobic thoughts because of their inability to deal with their emotions since no one taught them as kids.
Then again George Takei who starred in Star Trek went on to speak about the event being planned in Boston. He was quick to express his displeasure about the intended parade and threw jibes at them too.
