Amazing DC Council Hearing on Gay Marriage Bill -- Final Witness
DC Councilman Phil Mendelson chairs a hearing on the ''The Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Equality Amendment of 2009.'' Over 100 witnesses spoke before the Council. The bill is expected to easily pass through the Council since 10 of the 13 Members are already sponsors.

The final witness who identifies herself as Ernestine Copeland(er?) speaks about the Council sending the city's residents to Hell, the influence of demons, and something about "Sodomy and Gomor." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyzv_5lCC18&feature=player_embedded


Demons? How can one do successful community outreach regarding civil equality when there are demons influencing our elected officials? :scared:

It's going to take community outreach and a whole lot of something else to drag this culture into the 21st century.

1. She sounds like Anita Bryant.
Community outreach is the work of demons too. :crazy:

2. The dear woman is ill, bless her heart.
Her entire "speech" provided excellent reasons why same-sex marriage must be lawful.

7. Such is often the case, I'm afraid, with some people.
Having accepted the reality of supernatural entities, they are only too prepared for voices in their heads. It's a small minority of the religious, but they are a vocal minority.

8. There is a difference? I had been very much involved in
"Ever notice how it's so difficult to distinguish religion from insanity?"
I had been very much involved in church several in fact, most folks were pretty nice and all..until they all found out I was gay....

I don't have any thing to do with any church anymore.

Sodomy and Gonorrhea? she must host some salacious parties, what does she serve for dip?
