Wild Eyed Fanatic Tom Hanks Speaks Out

Actor Tom Hanks Speaking Out About What Hollywood Actors Always Speak Out About

Fox News reported that actor Tom Hanks has added his voice to the controversy over California's Proposition 8. At the premier party of the controversial HBO TV show "Big Love" about a polygamous family, Hanks said something like this (I've only marginally changed the text):

"The truth is this takes place in [San Fransisco], the truth is these people are some bizarre offshoot of [gay radicals], and the truth is a lot of [gays, liberals, and actors] gave a lot of money to [oppose] Prop-8,” 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 [against religion], 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."

You see what's happening here? If Hanks had said this, gay activists across the country would have exploded with indignation at the injustice of it all. But because Hanks said this about religion, about a church, and specifically about Mormons, the country lets it pass as a shining example of tolerance, understanding, and equal representation.

I object to the idea of gay "rights" on the grounds that part of gay "rights" includes intolerance for the rights and beliefs of religious people and institutions. The gay agenda includes the attempted destruction of religion to spread the gospel of Evangelical Atheism.
