The Catawba Valley area of NC fights back against hate

The Town of Maiden has released this statement:

"While this church has a Maiden address, the church is NOT located within the city limits of Maiden. The Town of Maiden does not discriminate on the basis of race, creed, gender or sexual orientation. The Town of Maiden does not condone and in fact rejects expressions of hate against any individual or group".

Please express your support for them on Facebook if you want:

Catawba Calley Citizens Against Hate was started by an Appalachian State University student, and she has seen her expected numbers of protesters soar this week, from about 200 to thousands. Attendees of the peaceful LOVE NOT HATE protest will include a bunch of national media, including Anderson Cooper. She also has a Facebook page, with a lot of interesting info, and comments from some locals who don't like Charles Worley being the face of Catawba-Caldwell-Lincoln-Gaston counties.
