Move Sundance!!

"Proposition 8 eliminates the right of African-American couples to marry."

"Only marriage between non-Jews is valid or recognized in California."

"Proposition M: A ban on Mormon marriage in California."

Does any of that seem fair?? Did you know the Mormon Church in Utah gave over 20 million dollars to support Prop. H8te in California?? My question is why the heck do they even care?? It has nothing to do with their state?? They should have kept their money for issues they may face in their own state, and I already hate the fact that organizations like this can give money. Seperation of church and state people, come on!!

I'm frustrated that religious organizations continue to give money to political topics, so if you agree with me you can join in supporting to move the Sundance festival from Utah. Utah isn't known for much at all, honestly I couldn't point the state out for you on a map!! That's how little attention Utah gets, however they do hold the annual Sundance festival there where tons of famous celebrities go and tourist, AKA money!! Utah Mormans want to donate in a cause they believe in and take away rights that should be for everyone then I believe I can take away their chances at making loads of money the only time of year they ever get visitors.

From the movesundance.com website:

A cruel dichotomy is that the film industry, a business with countless hardworking gays and lesbians since its inception, and a huge supporter of gay rights, holds one of it’s biggest annual events, The Sundance Film Festival, every January in Utah - the “ground zero” of hate and homophobia in our society, and the home of a church that continues to debase the lives of gays and lesbians. Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state in the country, with approximately 58 - 62 percent of its inhabitants claiming membership in the Mormon Church and filling its coffers. The church wields enormous influence over its followers. While not everyone in Utah is Mormon, and there are countless fair-minded Mormons who disagree with the hateful and homophobic philosophy and policies of the LDS Church, the UNDENIABLE fact is that…MONEY SPENT IN UTAH IS INEVITABLY FUNNELED INTO COLLECTION PLATES OF THE MORMON CHURCH; WHICH IN TURN SPONSORS ACTIVITIES THAT ATTEMPT TO DENIGRATE THE LIVES OF GAYS AND LESBIANS, AND DENY THEM BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS.

Would the Mormon Church bring thousands of their followers to a convention in San Francisco?

IT IS NOW TIME FOR THE FILM COMMUNITY TO STOP FUNDING HATE AND BIGOTRY, AND MOVE THE SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL TO A STATE OTHER THAN UTAH!
