DIRECTOR QUITS SCIENTOLOGY OVER ANTI-GAY STANCE ON MARRIAGE

Paul Haggis, Hollywood director (Oscar for Crash) and now hero, has quit the "Church" of Scientology citing the "church"'s opposition of gay marriage and financial support of Prop 8 as the last straw. In a kick-ass letter addressed to the spokesman for the "church" Tommy Davis, Haggis spoke of the failure of the "church" to distance itself from homophobic statements made by its San Diego branch in 2008. "I called and wrote and implored you, as the official spokesman of the church, to condemn their actions," Haggis wrote. "You promised action. Ten months passed. No action." "The church’s refusal to denounce the actions of these bigots, hypocrites and homophobes is cowardly. I can think of no other word. Silence is consent, Tommy. I refuse to consent," he added. Haggis and his wife were also forced by the "church" to cut ties with his wife's parents after they left the "church" last year. This is an interesting inside look at the "church" who among it's members counts LONG TIME suspected homos like Tom Cruise and John Travolta. We'll see what those to ladies have to say about all this. Good for you, Paul Haggis. (PS....by "church" I mean cult, and by cult I mean happy hour at any gay bar) [source] [picture]
