Fred, Linda and Lance talk about Mormon involvement in Prop 8

Chino Blanco, June 18, 2010June 18, 2010

Fred Karger, Dustin Lance Black, and Linda Stay discuss the film 8: The Mormon Proposition

If you’ve got 16 minutes to spare, you’re welcome to listen in.

It’s Friday night. What I wouldn’t do for a slice right about now. Happy weekend all!
