I just watched 8: The Mormon Proposition trailer on YouTube. The film is very personal for filmmaker, Reed Cowan, who is gay and Mormon. His clashes with his family and their uncompromising beliefs made him realize that other gay mormons were surely having the same problem. But, it was when his own sister supported the gay marriage ban in California, that he decided to pursue the documentary.
Though the documentary is still in production, this trailer has been seen by some 70,000 viewers in the first 3 days online.
When I watched it, I was infuriated and incensed with the Mormon leadership and their inhumane and chilling quest against gay rights--tears streamed down my face watching the gay people who don't deserve this treatment. It was like a knife to the heart.
The Mormons put up 75 percent of the money used to defeat gay marriage in California! Their arrogance and discriminatory tactics are just plain evil.
As a mother, I can't imagine putting the theocracy of mormonism above the love and acceptance of my own child! What kind of cult brainwashing is that?
