Rage

And I liked you, Tom. For so long I liked you and watched your movies and thought you were nice and respectable--and respectful. Turns out, there's too much Hollywood in you. Even if you think this way, maybe you could express it in a less bigoted (yes, bigoted) way. Or do your research and see we evil Mormons aren't the only ones to "blame".

Tom Hanks is actually the executive producer of "Big Love", about a polygamist family in Utah (awesome, Tom). Tom's wise words: “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 backwards. So lets have faith in not only the American, but Californian constitutional process.”

"Californian constitutional process"? Tom, that already happened when around 54% of Californians voted for Prop 8. "Who's responsible"? You know what? Mormons don't make up 54% of California's population. Not even close. In fact, around 59% of African Americans--the same people who flooded the polls for Obama (which is great, they have every right to)--voted FOR Prop-8. So why don't you say nasty things about African Americans? Why don't you call them un-American? Well, because that would be down-right politically incorrect, of course, and racist. And don't even get me started on the countless other religions that backed Prop-8 and the Mormon church on this issue. That felt the same way and gave the same amount of support. But Mormons? We're such an easy target, I suppose. A peculiar people.

Hollywood + politics = me gagging.
