Bigotry in name of God rearing ugly head again

[Hazumu]

Reading my paper this morning, I was appalled that bigotry in the name of God is rearing its ugly head again in the form of Michael Heath and his Christian Civic League.

What part of equal rights under the law do they not understand? He states that he wants to do away with the "special" rights that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender/transsexual (GLBT) individuals have under law. In other words our children, because they happen to be gay or transgendered, should not have equal protection under the law?

Why are some people more equal than others? We need to stop using the Bible to say that some people are more equal than others. God doesn't make mistakes and we are all created equal in his eyes.
