Texas Lawmaker To Host Anti-Gay Hatefest At Church Where He Serves As Pastor
Anti-LGBT activists in Texas are showing no signs of giving up in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in favor of same-sex marriage.
Last week, we told you about a new anti-LGBT coalition that launched in Dallas to fight the ruling, amid absurd warnings that it will lead to teachers encouraging kindergarteners to try anal sex.
Sanford.ScottNow, anti-LGBT hate groups are planning a rally — called “The Texas Response: Pastors, Marriage, & Religious Freedom” — at a church in Dallas’ northern suburbs. The groups include Texas Values, the Texas Pastor Council, the Liberty Institute and Concerned Women for America. And the event will be held at Cottonwood Creek Baptist Church, where the executive pastor is anti-gay state Rep. Scott Sanford (right), the author of both a so-called “Pastor Protection Act” and a failed license-to-discriminate adoption amendment.
From Texas Values:
You are invited to attend our exciting upcoming event, The Texas Response: Pastors, Marriage, & Religious Freedom!
Please join us as we celebrate the passage of the Pastor Protection Law and discuss the recent Supreme Court marriage decision. The Texas Response will be on August 11th at 6:30 p.m. at Cottonwood Creek Baptist Church in Allen, Texas!
Our team and other dynamic speakers will be there to fully explain the new Pastor Protection Law and discuss what Texas can do after the Supreme Court’s ruling. We will also talk about the impact of the Court’s decision on religious freedom and free speech. The event will educate and inform Texans like YOU on these important issues!
