    THATS SO GAY!



  3. 3

    YOU ARE A FUCKING GAY IDIOT!



  4. 4

    THEIR NOT FUNDING HATE…WHY CAN'T YOU JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THE FACT THAT SOME PEOPLE DISLIKE GAYS??? IT'S NOT EVERYONES CUP OF TEA FAG…O.K.! THEY CAN DISLIKE YOU IF THEY WANT. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUCK A COCK AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO HATE YOU FOR IT!

    ENOUGH ALREADY YOU BITTER HOMO!



  5. 5

    you gays don't have enough to do…….
    GET OVER HERE AND REDECORATE MY FORMAL LIVING ROOM.



  6. 6

    PEREZ = FUCKEN MORON WITH MORMON ISSUES



  7. 7

    I love the idea of moving Sundance to elsewhere. But … New Mexico? Wouldn't Connecticut be more of an obvious choice since they just legalized gay marriage. Or what about San Francisco?



  8. 8

    Why did Proposition 8 pass? Well, let me tell you…WHITES aren't that into religion as BLACKS and LATINOS. So with that being said, that is why GAYS CANNOT MARRY in CALIFORNIA. Gosh, just go to another state and marry. Yall want it that bad, go that extra f*cken mile. We can't have it all.



  9. 9

    Anti-Gay Marriage is not hate, stupid. You think it is cause you're gay. If you liked to be tied up and someone ride you around like a pony, I still wouldn't hate you. What you do in your bedroom is none of my business so shut up about it already. You can get married. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT! You just have to marry a girl. Otherwise, you're just another sexual deviant who wants to have more with their partner. If I was a married man and wanted another wife, would you support that? Why not? What if we're in love and I want to be able to take care of her? Its just a sexual deviation, honey. Deal with it. Guys who like fat chicks have been dealing with sexual deviation for years.



  10. 10

    Why don't you get some slick commercials produced by Hollywood and hit it again next year. Don't try to overturn prop 8 in a major election year.



  11. 11

    All of your belly-achin' is not going to get prop 8 overturned. Get over it.

    It doesn't matter where you move it…people are tired of the bullshit gay agenda being shoved down there throats.

    For a long time gays use to say 'keep out of our bedroom'….now the people are saying to gays 'keep your sexuality off the streets'

    Re: topper – wow
    nice ass.



  22. 22

    mormons are weird and can't be trusted…….



  23. 23

    Perez, you should do some research before you post stuff like this on here. As a resident of Park City, Utah, I think you might find it important that 82% of all businesses that do business with Sundance (hotels, restaurants, bars, production companies, and such) are owned by NON-Mormons. Why should people take their frustrations out on these people? It is not only the business that would suffer, but also their employees and their families.

    I am all for equal rights and in NO way support what the Mormons have done, but don't take it out on the individual and their families that work here in Utah.

    Besides you can't move Sundance, because it would no longer be Sundance. Maybe you should get off your fat ass and come check it out. Not everything in Utah is Mormon or even affiliated with the Mormons.



  24. 24

    KEEP BRINGING ATTENTION TO THIS DISCRIMINATION PEREZ - REGARDLESS OF WHAT SOME PEOPLE (WHO ALREADY ENJOY FULLY EQUAL RIGHTS) MAY HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT! EQUALITY FOR ALL - GAY, STRAIGHT, BLACK, WHITE, JEW, CATHOLIC, OR OTHERWISE!



  25. 25

    Re: LettyB Hates Perez – It's not just to Perez,but to all. I know Perez is the fattest and most bitter pig in the world cause no one will stick their dick in him, and he is just a flash in the pan that will be forgotten like Ralph Macchio.

  36. 36

    Perez, hating the Mormons back isn't the answer. Two wrongs do not make a right. I also cringe when some gay people are taking this to extremes by making people even more uncomfortable with the gay life style. Forinstance, by charging into peoples places of worship, scaring old people and banning places of businesses. Making people hate you and your lifestyle isn't the answer to get you change. Weren't you the one that quoted Martin Luther King. He got the word out in peaceful means and by showing people that black people aren't different then them. Confrontation only causes hatred. Educate and protest by peaceful means is the common sense answer. I know you are upset but using hatred and non tolerence of others isn't the answer. Actually your post about it being the Mormons fault scared me and you shoule be careful because many people will read your words and go way over board and that could be dangerous. Keep it peaceful. Like I said before…two wrongs do not make a right.



  37. 37

    Re: LettyB Hates Perez – Nice pic. Was wondering if your carpet matches the drapes?



  38. 38

    Re: Shamerika – It's not about religion! I don't understand why people don't understand that. It's okay to have your views but don't push them on other people. It's called fucking discrimination.



  39. 39

    STOP BEING A FUCKING RETARD. YOUR JUST AS EQUALLY HATEFUL OF MORMONS FOR THEIR BELIEFS. YOU WANT EQUALITY/TOLERANCE, YET YOU HAVE NONE FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIFFERENT BELIEFS OTHER THAN YOUR SELF-RIGHTEOUS SELF.

    Thanks Perez! Keep the Gays out of Utah! Best idea all year! Any place with no gays is a great place to be! Why don't gays just move to the bermuda triangle? Then the world will be a better place!

  42. maz says – reply to this


    42

    They lay the argument out well, and moving to NM makes sense.



  43. 43

    They spared no expense with that website, eh?



  44. 44

    You talk about hate and how the mormons targeted you. What the hell do you think you are doing to the Mormons? Just because people voted Yes on 8 doesn't mean that they are anti-gay. The only statistics the gay community has on who voted how was from exit polls. Those are inaccurate. Riverside county which has the largest gay population in CA per capita because of Palm Springs only voted 35% for NO on 8. So what is up with that?



  45. 45

    Anywhere but Utah, I disagree that it has to be Taos, New Mexico. It doesn't have to have a ski area just to resemble Park City. San Francisco would be a great option or Palm Springs.



  46. 46

    And, seriously, how do you know that religion was the influencing factor of the MAJORITY to vote YES? I was born and raised catholic, but do not practice. I do not let my religious upbringing sway my views.



  47. 47

    as a mormon, hopefully one of the "fair-minded" mormons mentioned in the article…i would like to say that i am deeply ashamed of how the Church leadership has behaved in regards to Proposition 8. The Church is supposed to remain officially neutral on any political issue, and they did not remain true to this tenet. What is so unfortunate is that the teachings of our church emphasize that each and every one of us are children of our Heavenly Father, beloved and cherished by him. It is he who sent us here and he wants us to be happy. Taing away the right of a loving and committed couple to marry is at odds with our core beliefs. LOVE!



  48. 48

    I hate to tell you this, but that's retarded. A) There are WAYYY fewer mormons than that here in Utah. You are completely punishing all of us who live here whether we are or are not LDS B) Oh yes, lets just eliminate the ONE time of year where lots of people who are not LDS are out and about…that'll really change people's perceptions of who you are–maybe now they'll think you're even MORE stuck up than before. C) You are HATING on people for their religion. Spreading H8TE was supposed to be bad, right? D) Have you studied the Mormon teachings or even befriended a single Mormon before you make all these accusations? You don't like it when people do that to gays! E) You are just picking somebody to be mad at, out of MANY groups of people who are responsible. F) Again, the Mormon church is not centered in PARK CITY. Have you checked to see all the things they have a part in? Your beloved LAS VEGAS for example? Yes, founded BY MORMONS. You're not going to hurt the LDS church with this. I think you're totally ignoring reality on this one.

    Re: Blake – LOL Blake! That's what I said! If Mormon people hate gays so much, and gays are boycotting them…then they get their wish! LOL Probably the stoopidest boycott I've ever heard of!



  52. 52

    You are such a fucking asshole. Um, let's not move Sundance and keep everything the way it is because people voted and wanted things a certain way. Get over it already, it's not like your rights are being stripped away.



  53. 53

    Move Sundace out of Utah!!!!!
    .
    Was my very first thought when hearing of the issue the first time.
    .
    Fu/ck the Moron Cult, I mean Mormon Church for their H8t mongering ways.



  54. 54

    its not like the mormons sponsor sundance. I seriously doubt much of the money made by businesses(restaurants-hotels) actually ends up in the mormon bucket. But it would be a great statement to move it, so go for it, move sundance!

  55. adam! says – reply to this

    us "nomal" people don't give a shit about sundance…

  57. 57

    Re: Hot Monkey Love Obama Style Hates Perez – Yeah..you can hate black people for being black, women for being women, asians for being asian, but you don't get to tell any of them they can't marry because you hate them. I'm not even gay and I think your statement is ridiculous!



  58. 58

    Fuck that and fuck you. Seriously. Moving Sundance…. Is like using gas to put out a fire. It makes no sense. Learn more about the demographics in Utah please, before you stand behind this. And stop supporting Twilight so much, the author is Mormon you fucking idiot.



  59. 59

    The whole prop 8 thing is wrong. But grying and making spectacle of it, is actually giving those who voted for it motivation. It's bad but its not that serious if you truley love someone and want to spend the rest of your life with them , you dont need a stupid peice of paper for that. Love is everlasting, marrige can end in divorce.

    MOVE SUNDANCE!!!



  65. 65

    The Sundance Film Festival was founded by Robert Redford (who is neither Mormon or gay) and named after his home in Park City, Utah. The Sundance Film Festival has nothing to do with Mormons except that both have homes in Utah.



  66. 66

    How very hypocritical of you Perez, trying to stop hate with your own hate. That's really going to turn votes in your favor but oh wait, what votes? The votes were already tallied and you lost…now be a good little boy and move the hell on and sign up for domestic partnership, you'll get your damn equal rights with that.



  67. 67

    Looks like all the protest and boycotts have worked so far. People are taking notice and things will chnage. We have been silent for years. NOT ANYMORE!



  68. 68

    Wow, some pretty bigoted and hateful people read this blog and post! Evil!
    I "love" all these ethnics who spout God and Jesus and the Bible and have bastard children and can't keep their own marriages together.
    Then they try to point to Gays as evil.
    And yes I realize that this comment seems just in that vein. I am just pointing out the obvious.
    I still think all the Gays and Lesbians should just marry eacy other and show them how stupid this all really is.
    If someone loves someone, isn't that a GOOD and GOD thing?
    Stop spewing hatred.
    Start spreading love!
    or at least LIKE!

    Re: LadyKC – IT WAS MEANT TO BE…THANKS FOR NOTICING!



  73. 73

    Perez, I'm glad you're bringing this issue to your blog. I'm hoping your opinion about doing this has eroded. Giving homosexuals the ability to achieve a union like heterosexuals is something I fully support.

    But Perez, you're encouraging people to blanketly disapprove of a symbol. Isn't that what you are accusing others of doing to you? To punish others for something that a selective few of the population has been guilty of doing is WRONG. I can't believe a guy who is as smart as you is encouraging this, if you still are! It's as silly as boycotting Westboro, Kansas because they have a Baptist Church there that promotes homosexual death!

    Sure, move Sundance. But don't do it because of this.



  74. 74

    God I'm so sick of fags shoving their gayness down my throat. I don't give a shit if you want to get married..Get the fuck over it — you lost!



  75. 75

    You are an idiot. I work for Sundance and they aren't going to move it no matter how many people sign your little petition. Grow up.



  76. 76

    Good for the Mormons on rounding up their members and taking a stance on what they believe. - If the gay population cared that much, they should have done the same. Last time I looked, the gay population is far greater than Mormon membership. You could have raised just as mush money, put just as many people on the streets, and called just as many households. The fact is, the majority voted for it. California obviously is not ready for gay marriage.



  77. 77

    Sundance is in Summit County (utah) and they voted for Barack O. It is a liberal town. Very liberal. Sundance isn't putting money in the pockets of the mormons by coming to Utah.. You are hurting liberal mom and pop shops who depend on Sundance for their livlihood. Besides, where would you have it California who voted to ban gay marriage in the first place??? Besides, discriminating against the mormons is STILL discrimination. EQUALITY.

  78. SoCal says – reply to this

    Re: evelynne – No Evelyn, the church is not supposed to stay neutral on political issues. The church stays neutral on political candidates; there is a difference. Churches can speak out on social issues like Prop 8 all they want without losing their tax exempt status. It's when a church supports a candidate like Obama that they are at risk of losing their tax exempt status - except of course if you are a black church, then the IRS won't touch you. Now if you are unhappy with the church leadership on the issue, then perhaps your testimony is not what it should be.



  79. 79

    I seriously doubt every person in Utah is a Mormon nor does every Mormon object to gay marriage. Why would they move Sundance from utah…because the people of California voted Yes to Prop 8?? Maybe you should have been going door to door swinging your rainbow flag and making a statement before it was voted on, guess you didn't make enough effort. I swear gay men bitch more than any woman I know, whiner.



  80. 80

    It's simple.. Gay's ARE 2nd class citizens..



  81. 81

    thats retarded boycottin a state, who cares, we all voted, if you wanna marry move, and im sure mormons dont h8, they just believe marriage is between a man and a woman, why dont you stop the h8 too

  82. @v@ says – reply to this


    82

    It's held where it is because it's Redford's baby, and that's where he lives. It's location makes it easier for Redford to commute to and organize the events in the many months prior to and during the festival. It was getting full of be-seens and sycophants with no actual reason for being there anyway, so if some boycott due to a separate agenda, the principals who care about the festival and have films there will be able to be more focused on the festival's main mission. It's OK to fight for your rights, but it's not right to dump on someone else's. Boycott the state (or not), although there are a lot of non-Mormons in residence, but don't boycott Redford's wonderful, philanthropic film festival which promotes independent film and the industry that earned him such a good living. This effort is somehow off point, and I think a better statement could be made in a better way somehow.



  83. 83

    I'm okay with that. MOVE SUNDANCE!!! Utah Mormon suck!



  84. 84

    Bring Sundance to SF! We would be glad to have it here!



  85. 85

    what a ridiculous idea!! Robert Redford has been in Sundance (yeah its an ACTUAL place stupid) for years and years! Why the hell would he move it because of a completely non-related vote in another state happened. STICK TO THE LEGAL SYSTEM to fight this. QUIT Blaming the mormons only for this you hypocrite. Do not punish these independent films and directors who work their assess off to break through!! You are all shooting yourself in the foot! Calm down and fight it through the courts - that is the only way anything will actually happen. SO OVER THE WINEY B.S. POSTS!!



  86. 86

    Move Sundance to Telluride, CO. It's a fabulous town and you can actually enter a bar without buying a membership. Park City sucks. :-)



  87. 87

    Race and sexual orientation are not equivalent and until those advocating for gay 'marriage' get that…I will continue to believe they are insulting my intelligence.



  88. 88

    Wow, you have some seriously scary readers, Perez. I agree with ending hate, but think you are throwing the baby out with the bathwater on this issue. Sundance and its environs have NOTHING to do with Mormons and their hating ways. I say show up en masse to prove to those Mormon idiots that they cannot stop the love no matter how much money they spend! Jes sayin…

  89. PhaQ says – reply to this


    89

    They absolutely should move SunDance, regardless if most of th ebusinesses are not owned by Mormons. That isn't the point. the point is that is the home base for the Mormons.

    The Mormons further spread hatred by LYING, yes, LYING about how pastors that refuse to marry homosexuals would be jailed, churches that refuse to marry same sex couples would have their tax exemption status ripped away, and children would be taught about same-sex marriage as part of their curriclum at schools. If telling lies to get a Proposition passed isn't hate-based, then what is? Tell me.

    If homosexuals don't slam their homosexuality down people's throats, and voice out about their concerns, they would have no rights. They would be hidden in a corner and suffer. Why should two consenting adults love one another have to suffer and not get the rights that two other consenting adults get to have? And that is exactly what it boils down to. If any other minority group were told that they couldn't do something because of their minority, EVERYONE would be in an uproar, but because its homosexuals, there isn't as much of an uproar because certain, well established, highly trusted groups, spread lies, and suppress scientific information, and have for years.

    Fuck Utah!!! Why should they make money off all
    of what they refer 2 as "Sinners"!!????



  94. 94

    I live in Utah. I am sick of everyone talking about the boycott. I do not promote hate, I thing everyone has rights that should be respected, and I love all my gay friends and attend their weddings and receptions. On that note, how about instead of boycotting, we work for CHANGE?!? Maybe instead of moving or boycotting Sundance, all the gays should show up, support it, and protest the LDS CHURCH while they are in town. Don't punish all of us based on the actions of a few– isn't that the message you are upset about in the first place?



  95. 95

    1. If you want to get at the Mormons then why not make Sundance this year a big gay classy gathering in Park City and stuff what they hate right in their face? Have a protest party in their backyard. Get entertainers, speakers, sponsorship… etc. Draw positive attention to your cause without having a temper tantrum. The Mormon's don't care if Sundance isn't there because of the gays—that doesn't hurt them.

    2. Robert Redford, who backs the festival, is probably the most liberal person in Hollywood.

    Also, telling people not to support Sundance doesn't help promote gay equality. It disrespects and hurts the artistic community and the struggling, dedicated filmmakers who have put their heart & soul into making something they've believed in for a very long time. So you see, you are hurting creative artists and villifying gays by making them responsible. Mormons may live in the state of Utah, but they barely make up the population of Park City… sheesh. A film festival doesn't benefit them and it's a ridiculous notion to think so. Perez, Please thoroughly think through calls for civic action as well as making political commentary before brazenly and foolishly making such posts. You can avoid portraying yourself as a buffoon.

    MORON! Some mormons funded YES on 8, everyone in Utah is a mormon and every mormon hates gays right Perez? You're so ignorant. Sundance is not related to the mormons, you're simply hurting the states economy because you feel like there's some big conspiracy against gay rights in Utah. Quit being ridiculous. You make fun of DL Hughley saying "I've never met a black athiest" accusing him of generalizing all African Americans yet you generalize all people from Utah has gay hating mormons. Perez is an ignorant idiot.



  98. 98

    Okay first off, if you are on this site and reading the articles then no body is forcing anything upon you. If you dont like reading the opinions on here then dont freaking come to this site! That simple! Second, what the hell is the problem with a gay man voicing his opion that LGBT people should have the SAME rights as everyone else! Same meaning Sperate is not Equal! The LGBT community is tired of being treated like 2nd class trash! How we are being treated is the same how Americans used to treat African Americans in the south! People had a problem with that discriminatioin, bigotry, and hate. So why the hell is it okay to do the SAME THING to people who are gay?

    Sundance isn't going to move. Robert Redford OWNs Sundance Ski Resort which is part of the reason why it is there. Besides, things are already set in place for it to go on this year. I doubt Redford would want to move it elsewhere. He'd lose business. Utah has some of the best snow in the country.
