Default So according to Hanks, Mormons are un-american

for supporting Proposition 8. No mention of blacks, jews, evangelicals, etc who voted for and funded Prop 8.

I would say the gays are waaaaayyyyy more un-American. They spread the AIDS virus, they account for the majority of STD's....... That is the height of un-Americanism.

Why worry about what a shallow POS Hollywood weasel says?

Telling people to not vote their conscience is also unAmerican, Forrest.

Hanks backtracks.

Quote:
"Last week, I labeled members of the Mormon church who supported California's Proposition 8 as 'un-American,'" the actor said in a statement through his publicist. "I believe Proposition 8 is counter to the promise of our Constitution; it is codified discrimination."

"But everyone has a right to vote their conscience; nothing could be more American," the statement continues. "To say members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who contributed to Proposition 8 are 'un-American' creates more division when the time calls for respectful disagreement. No one should use 'un- American' lightly or in haste. I did. I should not have."
