In a tense Downtown news conference this afternoon, Shelby County
Commissioner Wyatt Bunker and several pastors blasted homosexuality as
members of a gay rights group looked on.

Bunker and the pastors gathered before the county administration
building to speak against a proposed measure that would block the
county government and some local businesses from discriminating
against gays, lesbians and transgendered in employment.

Pastors do not pay taxes and have no say in government.

I'm a Christian and discrimination is WRONG! No where does it say that Christians are to deny people their rights. Christians are to stand on the side of the oppressed, help the widows and orphans, and not to take advantage of the foreigner.
