Synopsis: (supplied by studio)
Director Reed Cowan initially planned on making a documentary about gay teen homelessness and suicide in Utah but soon realized that the homophobia that prompts otherwise loving parents to kick teenagers out of their homes is deep-seated in current Mormon ideology. Cowan, with his fellow filmmakers, experienced first-hand what it was like to grow up gay in Utah in the Mormon faith, then turned their attention to the historic campaign by the Mormon Church to pass Proposition 8 in California believing that it was the cornerstone of an ideology that has worked for decades to damage gay people and their causes. The film is their emotional outcry to what they found.

And IDK what you say, the Mormons are filth, you put your pathetic belief in a skydaddy over the civil liberties of real people. And your dirty church took every covert step to hide the fact that they were pushing this legislation since the beginning. The fact that your church felt they had to hide their identity, only solidifies the fact that you, and your church leaders, have polluted minds.

The beliefs of a few can take rights away from many. How fucked up is that?

Sir/Madam have you actually sat down to talk with a gay or lesbian? I used to think as you do, but it took one person to chance my view. I know my name sounds as a boys name, but I am a girl, and a straight one. I discovered one close friend was gay and sat to talk with him not to try to change him but to listen the other side of the situation. I am now a SUPPORTER for EQUAL MARRIAGE and I am totally sure my friend is no psycho!

The Mormon Church received its comeuppance in the 2012 election, in which its "favorite son" Mitt Romney was defeated in his run for the presidency, and in which 3 states voted to legalize same-sex marriage.

garbage.

2. transsexual, or whatever you are... We still will love you. I have 3 gay bestfriends that have been with me for ever since I was a child and I love them dearly... I would die for them. But seeing this? This video? This is not what we are! And it was never how we handled things at all...

[Makayla Risner]

Of course... And I believe that too... We believe that... It is our faith to believe that and that we do that. It sounds like we are bashed into this world by many people who are so offended by it. If I were gay, yes I would be too. But I'm not and that's is why we chose yes on prop 8 because we, or even I, did what I thought was right. It wasn't meant to be hateful towards anyone. Honest truth, we didn't wanted to be seen that way. But what the LDS church believes; No matter if you are gay or

, sexual orientation, etc and wants all of us to be there and all of us to treat each other like brothers and sisters and not like we are them and us.

Miss Makayla I am not judging and not hating the church by any means, that is not my place. I am just trying to understand. I am a Christian and I supported gay marriage and I know many Mormons that supported it as well. Voting no on prop 8 did not challenge my faith. My faith is independent of the morality and the politics of gay marriage. My faith is in a Christ that loves everybody and wants everyone to come to him and a God that loves the world no matter what religion, ethnicity
