Got this in an e-mail; those of you who attend church send it to your church or if you a minister sign it. Nice to get the church to finally give more support; especially on a political level.

Friends,

Here's a link to an article about the Christian Right effort to turn blacks against gays--particularly on Hate Crimes legislation. The author suggests that with so many states banning same gender marriage that the marriage issue is no longer a potent issue. So now they are trying to stir up fear about hate crimes legislation.
