Tom Hanks realized that his comment has created different reactions about Mormons who supported Proposition 8 (law that bans same-sex marriage).
With "un-American" remarks towards church members who gave money to support Prop. 8, he apologized.
Here's his public statement via PEOPLE,
"Last week, I labeled members of the Mormon church who supported California's Proposition 8 as "un-American." I believe Proposition 8 is counter to the promise of our Constitution; it is codified discrimination. But everyone has a right to vote their conscience – nothing could be more American. To say members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who contributed to Proposition 8 are "un-American" creates more division when the time calls for respectful disagreement. No one should use "un- American" lightly or in haste. I did. I should not have.
Sincerely,
Tom Hanks"
