A spokesman for the religion says that the church does not oppose California's Propostion 8, which would ban same-sex marriages, but that Haggis may have misunderstood a local congregation's announcement.
Comments on the Los Angeles Times site indicate that Haggis may be right, though.
If celebs start to find conflicts in their trendy religion will they dump it?Haggis is correct.
Hubbabard (sic) himself had this to say:
"In any event, any person from 2.0 down on the Tone Scale should not have, in any thinking society, any civil rights of any kind, because by abusing those rights he brings into being arduous and strenuous laws which are oppressive to those who need no such restraints."

Yes, gay people are considered to be below 2.0 on the Scientology Tone Scale, so

I believe Haggis' letter already states that he understands that the San Diego chapter didn't represent ALL of Scientology.
His issue was that the "church" had not done enough to discipline the SD chapter, or clearly state that the "church" was not in favor of discrimination. He requested that the "church" do this and waited a long time for the "church" to act.
I think he did a brave thing.AnonLA
