I just watched the movie "8: The Mormon Proposition"

[pgodbold]

"Confidential church documents, statements by high-ranking church officials and other sources detail 30 years of efforts to turn back gay rights, particularly by the Mormon-sponsored National Organization for Marriage." - Netflix

Watch the trailer: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi3123185433/

I recommend this documentary. It's a painful look at the intense hatred and almost unlimited resources of Mormonism. I've seen hate before but not like this.

This movie is available on Netflix.

2. Wouldn't it be a nightmare to be gay and live in Utah. n/t

3. Utah is a nightmare for .....

a nightmare for feminists
a nightmare for union members
a nightmare for Jews
a nightmare for out atheists
well, actually for just about anyone that isn't a Mormon

A few years ago a woman who was a rising star in my company was offered a good promotion, but the job was in Salt Lake City. So she said goodbye to her Jewish family in the New York suburbs and settled into her new job.

About 9 months later I ran into her at a conference and asked how her new job was working out. Not so good. It was so bad she gave up the promotion and offered to take any job opening anywhere on the east coast. And it wasn't that she missed her favorite bagel shop. The Mormons in her office (about 75% of the total) would ignore her instructions, hold business meetings for the Mormon employees in the morning before the office opened, make sales to Mormon-owned companies at discounts not available to non-Mormon customers, and go over her head to the Mormon district manager several times a month.

I learned over the years that this is the way it works in Utah. doG help us if Romney becomes President.

4. Wow. I had no idea the work environment was that hostile to non-Mormons. Thank you for sharing this.

5. I hated Mormons before it was cool.

The only good thing about this religion is that it can't seem to manage to retain any converts.

6. I remember when Roseanne [Barr] said growing up Jewish in Utah was like 'Amish Nazis'

I still remember that quote!

7. True....

8. The Mormon "Church" is a Despicable Cult

Remember, the Mormon "Church" is making full use of their tax advantaged status (including the tax dollars from gay citizens) to fight against gay issues. It is disgusting. Filthy cult.

9. Mormonism is the

Scientology of the 19th Century. It was founded by a convicted fraud, Joseph Smith. The church was officially racist until the late 1970s.
