LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Brad Pitt is donating $100,000 to help defeat California Proposition 8, a November ballot initiative that would eliminate same-sex couples' right to marry, the "LA Times" reported Wednesday.

"Because no one has the right to deny another their life, even though they disagree with it, because everyone has the right to live the life they so desire if it doesn't harm another and because discrimination has no place in America, my vote will be for equality and against Proposition 8," the actor said in a statement.

Pitt's donation is largest single contribution thus far to the anti-Prop. 8 campaign by a celebrity.
