Matthew Shepard Bill

One of the main rallying points of the religious wrong in their opposition of the Matthew Shepard Bill is that it would prohibit pastors from announcing homosexuality as a sin. A lot of religious wrongers were up in arms because the ACLU supports this bill. Of course if they had a brain in their body they would have realized the only reason why the ACLU is backing this bill is because it protects the wrongers right to denounce homosexuality. This bill only stands in regards to acts of violence and does not infringe on anyone's right of free speech.
This all makes me wonder why these people put so much time into their hatred speech and their rabble rousing. Shouldn't they be out building houses in New Orleans or creating community gardens to feed the poor? Wouldn't their time and energy be better spent on making sure all the starving children in this nation had food and clean, warm clothes? Wait. . .what am I thinking? That sort of thinking would never garner these people MegaChurches with Mega salaries. The only way that they can keep control over their "flock" is by using fear and hatred to control people. As long as you can give a group of people someone to hate and an enemy to demonize and dehumanize then you can control and suck them dry which is exactly what these "pastors" are doing. They use their position of power to dehumanize and lump all queer people into one "evil" group so that they can use the fear and hatred that they create to keep a very generous income coming in and a power base. Makes you wonder WWJD?

Your senators will be voting on this bill after their recess. Please email/ call/ write your senator to let them know that you support this bill and the right of all Americans to pursue Life, Liberty , and Happiness.
