Blogging Against Senator Sam Brownback Since March 2005
As per the Wichita Eagle, Senator Sam Brownback attended Coretta Scott King’s funeral this morning. Via Thoughts from Kansas, a quote from the great lady that Brownback should take to heart:
“Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood.”
“We are all tied together in a single garment of destiny…I can never be what I ought to be until you are allowed to be what you ought to be,” she said, quoting her husband. “I’ve always felt that homophobic attitudes and policies were unjust and unworthy of a free society and must be opposed by all Americans who believe in democracy.”
Amen Mrs. King. I only wish our Senator Brownback could have the same tolerant, outlook on life and liberty.

I believe the American democracy has spoken–and it is against gay marriage.

I am sorry for the King family that Sam attended her funeral. That would be like Geroge Bush thinking he would be welcome in my home. As for gay rights and what the Bible says, the Bible also speaks against liars and it is estimated that 62% of Americans lie each day while it is estimated that 7-10% of the population is gay. Why is it that some Americans choose to target certain issues but not others? Brownback is a prime example!
