Tom Hanks Attacking Mormons

Tom Hanks, Executive Producer for HBO's controversial polygamist series "Big Love," made his feelings toward the Mormon Church's involvement in California's Prop 8 (which prohibits gay marriage) very clear at the show's premiere party on Wednesday night.

"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," he told Tarts. "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."

I don't see how having temples makes us creepy lol ;P but really, you probably just don't know very many Mormons in person. If you get to know quite a few of us, you'll realize that we may have different morals but we're pretty good at not being 'creepy'. :D

Tom Hanks is right.

I think it's touching that the Young Turks like deaf people who depend on captions/subtitles to have a good time trying to decipher what the flying fuck anyone on their clips is talking about. I mean it. Turn the volume to zero and watch this clip again. It's hilarious. Deaf people are so lucky.
