"I believe Proposition 8 is counter to the promise of our Constitution; it is codified discrimination."<BR/><BR/>"But everyone has a right to vote their conscience; nothing could be more American," the statement continues. "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."<BR/><BR/>Hopefully this helps to restore your respect for him. I think it's very good of him to issue a public apology when he realized he was wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2032171067345143470.post-80424666278987574762009-01-17T11:42:00.000-08:002009-01-17T11:42:00.000-08:00My brother and sister-in-law were here last night ...My brother and sister-in-law were here last night and we were guffawing at Tom's silliness.<BR/><BR/>I stillthink he's a great actor and a good man. I think he's extremely misinformed...well, okay, I think he's flat out wrong on several issues. But I have no doubt that he's still a fiar business man, a good hubby, a loving father. And I can't wait to have your husband do his temple work some day. Wouldn't that just be the umtimate "gotcha back"? It's going to be fun to meet up with some of the yaywhos who try to make splinters of our theology and see what they say when they finally have the truth. It'll be a happy day for everyone!!<BR/><BR/>This was a great post, by the way.wispy willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10194020052008879681noreply@blogger.com
