Trailer for '8 - The Mormon Proposition' - on the millions poured in to roll back a civil right

[furrbear]

From Pam'sHouseBlend:

This looks like an amazing documentary chronicling the first time a civil right was put on the ballot, to be decided by mob rule -- Proposition 8 -- and the millions pumped into the fight by the Mormons in the name of faith. Here's the first trailer for 8-The Mormon Proposition:

Producer Steven Greenstreet, who sent me the trailer link (it just went live) says it has just been submitted to Sundance other festivals. He was a journalist in 2008, and did a lot of coverage of Prop 8. When he left his news agency, he began working with the crew that made this documentary.

How soon the mormons forget the prosecution they went thru when their church was started. Is this their suppressed pay back?

I watch these people and I feel my heart sinking. There's a reason I gave up on religion around 2000, and people like this are why.
