i went & saw that film "latter days" about the gay mormons.

mostly i went 'cos amber benson (the dearly departed tara of "buffy" fame) was a supporting actress & like some obsessive ex-boyfriend, i wanted to see tara -in some fashion- alive & well & continuing on...even as a foul-mouthed southern californian waitress.

anyway the movie was a cliched coming out story, but pretty acurate in terms of the mormmon lore. it's funny how i don't actually believe the church, but i'll rush to their defense if i see them portrayed inacurately. one of the missionaries, who seemed to be of mixed ethnicity, was a bigot & actually said during one of their lessons "god hates gays." i thought that was a touch audacious, but hey! - i was never a missionary & some of them probably *are* assholes.

they also excommunicated the son of a stake president for kissing another guy. is that all it takes these days?

oh, & they showed the dude strip out of his garments and you know what? they kinda *looked* like garments! except the bottom part was too tight.

are there any other mormon films out there besides "the godmakers"? has anybody seen that btw?
