Is Tom Hanks Holier Than Thou Calling Mormons Un-American for Role in Proposition 8?
Tom Hanks donned his Holy robe and raised his Rod and Staff during HBO television’s Big Love premiere party Wednesday night, calling Mormons un-American for their role in California’s Proposition 8 on gay marriage rights. Tom Hanks is Executive Producer of HBO’s television series Big Love, a controversial show about polygamy. In a statement reported by FOX News, Tom Hanks said, The truth is this takes place in Utah, the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church, and the truth is a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop-8 happen. There are a lot of people who feel that is un-American, and I am one of them. I do not like to see any discrimination codified on any piece of paper, any of the 50 states in America, but here’s what happens now. A little bit of light can be shed, and people can see who’s responsible, and that can motivate the next go around of our self correcting Constitution, and hopefully we can move forward instead of backwar
