Re: "Laura Prepon is a liar" about Scientology's position on homosexuality and gay ri
I think it is naive to believe that Laura Prepon could be in Scientology and not know its position about homosexuality.
First of all, she has been linked to Tom Cruise, which means they must have had a conversation about her character on the show, and I'm assuming, if she is an active Scientologist, it must have come up in her auditing sessions.
If you have not seen the show, the lesbian scenes are graphic, and this second season is even more graphic than before. Women going down on each other, getting fingered, the whole nine. The first five minutes of the first episode has the main character Piper and Alex (Laura's character) making out naked in the shower with their breast touching. I'm a gay man And I have to say, the shit is HOT.
I also think it is important to differentiate between what people knew about Scientology 20 years ago, ten years ago, five years ago, or even last year. There has been so much more about it in the media, and almost everyone who knows anything about Scientology has heard the gossip about John Travolta. Remember Ricky Gervais' joke at the Golden Globes about the "Two gays Scientologists who were pretending to be straight?" That went into millions of American homes during prime time.
Scientology is a household conversation - with Jenna Miscavige Hill on The View and so many other talk shows, Laurence Right's book, and Paul Haggis' bold statement against homophobia in Scientology and extensive interviews in print and tv, you'd have to be under a rock not to know how Scientology feels about gay people.
But the one thing that trumps gay in Scientology, is fame and money. So millionaire gays who give generously or bring positive attention to the church because of their success will always be welcome. And if she can make money on the show and donate it to them, they will be willing to give her a pass. It's poor and unknown gay Scientologists who aren't welcome.
I feel Laura is doing a "Tommy Davis".....she is saying exactly what she was told to say. And she probably hasn't seen anything in print that was homophobic, but she is doing that celebrity thing of not particularly looking any deeper either because she doesn't want to find out more and have to take a stand.
I'm upset because I LOVE laura on the show, I think she is sexy as hell, and smart, and I was so disappointed to hear she was in Scientology. But lying like this just makes me sick and I'm really disappointed. I bet Tom got to her.
Everyone, protect your couches, Tom may be in love again!
