Anne Hathaway's family left Catholicism to support her gay brother - Topix

Anne Hathaway's family left the Catholic Church because of its intolerance of homosexuality. Anne grew up wanting to become a nun but shunned Catholicism when she learned her older brother, Michael, was gay. Hathaway says, "The whole family converted to Episcopalianism after my elder brother came out. Why should I support an organization that has a limited view of my beloved brother?" Anne was nominated for an Oscar™ for Rachel Getting Married ['08]. She's also co-starred in The Devil Wears Prada , The Princess Diaries , and Brokeback Mountain
