Tom’s Sorry About Mormon Comment

Last week, Tom Hanks made a statement to Fox News calling Mormons “Un-American” for their support of Prop 8. which outlaws gay marraige in California. Hanks seems to have rethought his stance and today his publicist Leslee Dart released this statement to People: 

Last week, I labeled members of the Mormon church who supported California’s Proposition 8 as “un-American.” 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. 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. 

Sincerely, 
Tom Hanks

Maybe he’s afraid those Mormons will boycott his movies. Do they even go to movies?
