Film Independent, who originally did not accept LA Film Festival Richard Raddon's resignation after he was outed for donating to pass proposition 8, today accepted it "with great reluctance." Raddon then released a statement. In part, it said: "As many know, I consider myself a devout and faithful Mormon. I prefer to keep the details around my contribution through my church a private matter. But I am profoundly sorry for the negative attention that my actions have drawn to Film Independent and for the hurt and pain that is being experienced in the GLBT community."

People need to stop hiding behind a religion for excusing their contributions and views. So freakin' shallow.
"I prefer to keep the details around my contribution through my church a private matter."
Was the church a conduit for Proposition 8 donations? That's a problem...for the church.

The church was *not* a conduit for Rich's donations. But it *is* a convenient excuse for him to hide behind.
Rich, you always seemed like a dick. Just be a man and own up.
It's amazing how these people just don't get it. He lost his job because of his public political activities, not his private religious beliefs.
Oh, c'mon, RDM. That's just spin. Besides, he didn't lose his job - he resigned. And it was over his belief that homosexuality is a sin.
This douche said this: "I prefer to keep the details around my contribution through my church a private matter."
Bullshit. Giving money to a political campaign is by definition a public matter. Being political is a public matter. He got into trouble because of public political behavior, not private religious belief. He's a liar.
Is it a sin to have a say in this country, we have heard, gay this and gay that, why can,t someone other than they gays have a say? are you the only group that has been persecuted? The mormons have just as much right as you to vote as they please! why are you mad? just because you lost? so on top of everything, what you are saying is that you have rights and no-one else does! Or as long as you get what you want then your happy? welcome to the real world, the mormons don,t get everything they want but they respect the law but they use the rights they do have to vote, This is a democracy, not everything you want ,you get, grow up and stop crying, maybe you'll win the next one! but don't show us your crudeness by not controlling your tongue,you only show how you would like to be treated!
