Hollywood actor Tom Hanks has lashed out over Prop 8, calling the push to ban gay marriage in California by the Mormon church "un-American" ...
Hanks says, "The truth is that a lot of Mormons gave a lot of money to the church to make Prop 8 happen. 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 in any of the 50 states in America."
"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."
Hanks produces the TV series Big Love, which focuses on a polygamous Mormon family. Hanks himself has referred to polygamy as a "bizarre offshoot of the Mormon Church."
