New Film Documents Mormon Church's Decades-Long Fight Against Gay Marriage

Director Reed Cowan's documentary on the Mormon Church's decades-old involvement in the fight to ban gay marriage in the United States is ready for its premiere screening. And Californians Against Hate Founder Fred Karger says the film will “undoubtedly change history.” While still in production the film drew fire when Cowan released several controversial audio clips in February. Utah State Senator Chris Buttars, a practicing Mormon, lost his chair of the powerful Judicial Committee after the Republican was heard in a Cowan interview calling the gay rights movement “probably the greatest threat to America” and gay folks “mean.” Full Story from On Top Magazine: http://www.ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=4739&MediaType=1&Category=26
