Film and TV star Alec Baldwin has spoken publicly about the anti-gay political views of his younger and less well-known brother Stephen.

Stephen is best-known for his roles in the controversial 1994 film Threesome and 1995 thriller The Usual Suspects.

He became a born-again Christian after the attacks on New York on September 11th 2001.

During an appearance on the Howard Stern radio show in January he spoke out about same-sex marriage.

"I don't believe that gay marriage is in line with God's Word, which is found in the Bible," Baldwin said.

His hard line stance contrasts sharply with his more famous brother Alec Baldwin.

In a recent interview with gay magazine The Advocate Alec seemed unconcerned about his youngest brother's views.

"They want to ban gay marriage because those people are incapable of having a biological family, that's their only argument.

then you have to ban marriage for everybody else who won't produce children

But they just single out groups of people that they hate.
