Soulforce, a taskforce of lesbian and gay people, has demonstrated its commitment to non-violence and love of enemies by sending condolences to the family, colleague and friends of Jerry Falwell, who died yesterday. As a beacon of the religious right, Falwell was implacably opposed to homosexuality.

The leading US conservative, whose name is inextricably linked with the Moral Majority, died in hospital in Virginia after being found unconscious in his office. He was given emergency treatment at Lynchburg General Hospital but did not recover.
