US-Evangelikale fördern Schwulen-Hatz

[Witch of Hope]

Göttin, tut das gut, wieder hier zu schreiben!
Beim Sundance-Filmvestival wurde der Dokumentarfilm "8-The Proposition" gezeigt, der in eindrucksvoller Weise zeigt, wie hier eine Sekte, die Mormonen, ihre Mitglieder benutzt, um amerikanischen Bürgern ihre bereits per Gesetz garantierten Rechte zu nehmen. In einem Artikel aus der Salt Lake Tribune, der einzigen unabhängigen großen Zeitung nicht in mormonischer Hand befindlich, schrieb der Reporter:

During the 2008 election season, the LDS Church was part of a coalition of religious groups that pushed the "Yes on 8" campaign. The church encouraged its members in California to donate time and money to the effort, sparking protests near LDS temples after the measure passed.
"We think it's a shame -- a very big shame," demonstrator Joe Baker-Gorringe said Sunday. (...)
Baker-Gorringe married his spouse, Russ Baker-Gorringe, in California while gay marriage was legal there for several months in 2008. The Salt Lake City couple are pleased their marriage license is still valid in California, but
they would like to see others have the opportunity to wed.
Russ Baker-Gorringe, who spent most of his life as an active member of the LDS faith, said he has seen the church's teachings that homosexuality is wrong lead some gay and lesbian Mormons to commit suicide.
"The church has blood on its hands," said Baker-Gorringe, who, himself, considered suicide before he came out as gay.
Suicide also is discussed in "8: The Mormon Proposition," along with homeless youths, turned away from Mormon homes, after they tell their parents they are gay. It was an emotional movie for some viewers. Quelle: sltrib.com/portlet/article/html/fragments/print_article.jsp?ar...

Ich hoffe, der Dokumentarfilm wird auch in Deutschland gezeigt!
