the AFA banner of their brand of christian bigotry and hatefulness. I really can not comprehend any real Christian wanting anything to do with the AFA. The AFA is an insult to Christianity.

This, ONCE AGAIN, shows the landscape for LGBT folk is treacherous and fraught with danger. As we make progress, we are reminded, subtlety and not so subtlety, where our place is.

**snip**The Center for Inquiry (CFI) today demanded that it be included on the American Family Association’s list of so-called “anti-Christian” groups in the United States, citing CFI’s work for the equality of the nonreligious, its fight against religion’s interference in health care and women’s reproductive rights, and its support of same-sex marriage**snip**

not to incite hatred and violence?

I read this story and immediately remembered Sarah "the twit" Palin and her gun sights picture and we all know what happened after that. BTW it seems to me those right-wing bible thumpers are usually the first to spew threats, foul language and physical assaults. They need to be watched and monitored very closely.

I'm so happy I can legally carry my weapon. You never know.
