Farrakhan blasts gay marriage; CoS may have to take a stand

Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan is the new best friend of Scientology, praising its courses and doing events together. Will Farrakhan preach his anti-gay-marriage message at a CoS event? Will Scientology agree, and lose the gay-lesbian-bi-trans community, Hollywood, and young people? Or, will Scientology disagree, and lose the many Nation of Islam followers buying CoS books and taking CoS courses?

IF they follow what they have done they will have to support him. eLwRONg was far from that pastor who wants to build "round 'em all up".

Thank you for posting and keeping us informed.

What is the Church's official standing on gay marriage?? I've combed their websites ... in vain. I can't tell. Last I heard, TD was stumblin' and fumblin' with the New Yorker about the current printing lacking some pages ... ??

Haggis was incensed that the San Diego chapter of Scientology had been listed among the proposition's (Prop 8, anti-gay-marriage) supporters, and he complained about it to church spokesman Tommy Davis.
(Tommy) Davis responded that a lone member of the San Diego organization had been responsible for putting it on the list, and told Haggis that the man had been "handled" over the incident.
For Haggis, that wasn't good enough. The father of two lesbian daughters, Haggis wanted the church to make up for the gaffe by taking a public stand against Proposition 8.
According to Wright's article, Davis told Haggis that Scientology couldn't get involved. "Davis explained to Haggis that the church avoids taking overt political stands," Wright notes.
