Rev.'s Warning: Allowing Gays Will Be Democrats' DemiseA campaign surrogate for Keryl Douglas, who is running for president of the Harris County, Texas, Democratic Party, attacked her gay opponent, Lane Lewis, warning that the party could be ruined by gay people.
In a campaign letter to Douglas's supporters, the Reverend Willie J. Howard wrote, "If the gays take over we are poised to lose everything we have worked for during President Obamas [sic] historic win. The Republicans will rally their troops behind a united front of making sure this push for same sex marriage is defeated."
After mentioning the advances of LGBT rights in Houston, thanks to lesbian mayor Annise Parker and other politicians, Howard urged Democrata supporters to Douglas for her or else the party will become "a party of homosexuals."

Sick of this shite.

Seriously, for a religion that is supposed to be about Love, there sure are a whole lot of people that refer to themselves as christians who believe in bigotry and hatred.
They're malicious and dangerous.
Real Christian folks need start getting together so they can take impostors like the dishonorable Rev. Willie J. to the woodshed, and then disavow them if they refuse to get it.

If people like that have their way, the only ones with Civil and Constitutional rights would be white, land-owning males. Just like the good ol' days they pine for.
