Tom Hanks Says Mormon Supporters of Prop-8 “Un-American”
Tom Hanks, an 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 let's have faith in not only the American, but Californian, constitutional process.”

What is it about most actors that turns them into simpletons?
Hank is a superb actor, and absolutely nothing else.
So Tom, study your script, and shut up so that you can keep fooling me that you went beyond high school.
Stupid is as stupid does, Forrest.
Another Hollywood idiot. Who does Hanks think he is. It takes enormous arrogance to state who you think should be American. And if the founders thought Homosexual marriage should be a right then why didn’t they account for it? What an ignorant buffoon.
Is Tom Hanks a homosexual?
You should’ve posted this under Religion. Then we would’ve been treated to endless cut & paste jobs demonstrating that Mormons are blasphemers.
What about the seventy percent Black Americans that voted for this.
Why didn’t Hanks pick on them?
Tom Hanks feels the need to pander to the freaks to keep working.
And Hanks, who is not a believing Jew is an idiot. He he DID actually believe, as a Jew, he would pay particular attention to certain verses of the Old Testament that says a man will not lie with a man and a woman will not lay with a woman. But, of course, we all know that Hanks, being the believing Jew he is, thinks that liberals can just pick and choose which verses of the Bible to believe, use and not use. No amount of “pretender” training is going to give him the words to explain his beliefs and actions to the All Mighty on judgment day.
hanks suffers from obama trauma
I wonder what Tom Hanks would say about Thomas Jefferson’s position on sodomy.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I did not know he was Jewish...practicing or otherwise. That said, who the hell cares what he or any of his other Hollywood cronies think? Oh I suppose we should because it is the idiots like him on 0prah and the View who are seen by these women who get their news and education from no other source..they don’t know crap about the housing market and how it all happened or religion or anything else..
Hanks and company are the sort of people who don’t view the slaughter of the innocent as particularly “discriminatory”.
Do you know how to clear out all the Leftwingtards in a 7/11? Simple, send in the black guy!
Why didn’t Hanks pick on them?
Because Tommy couldn't whip his way out of a wet paper bag. It's easier to pick on a tiny church with 2% of America's population.
Well, you DO know how really smart people that “pretend” for a living are.
He probably wouldn’t believe, then drop trou and try to reach Tom on his I=pod! Get him to stop by or something.
