Right and Black pastors fight hate-crime protection for gays

We are the bottom rung, the last acceptable group of people it's ok to hate and discriminate against, at least in America, most other industrialized western countries see us as equal

It seems so strange, yet obviuos, that religion (love thy neighbor) is preaching unequality in this day and age. It seems Christianity is based on the platform of fear and hate with the guise of love and acceptance.

Shuler said he was guided equally by political philosophy and by his Baptist religion, which teaches that homosexuality is wrong.
