HATE is sadly alive and well.....

I usually do not like to "re-post" thing I find on other blogs...but this is just too important. I am also a member/blogger on a VERY cool site called GayWallet.com
Despite the name, it is a very open site for anyone, be they a member of the GLBT community or gay-friendly straights like myself.
They have music blogs, animal rescue blogs, political, cooking, Television/Movies blogs and more.
SistersTalk/Genia is the original author of the following post. I am so saddened that this type of hatered continues in our country. And so close to home! Kalamazoo Michigan is NOT that far from where I live....very sad indeed....
Six weeks after passing a gay rights law, the Kalamazoo City Commission has voted to rescind it. The commission voted Dec. 1 to make it a civil offense in the city of 7,200 to discriminate in housing, public accommodations or employment based on sexual orientation or being transgender. The American Family Association of Michigan submitted petitions with about 1,600 signatures seeking the law's repeal. If officials found at least 1,273 signatures valid, the commission would have had to rescind the law or put it on the ballot. The commission voted 7-0 Monday night to rescind it.The AFA's actions in Kalamazoo City are the result of deep-rooted hatred and pure evil. It's extremely disheartening to know that a supposed "Christian" organization that claims to protect families would willingly allow (and encourage!) employment and housing discrimination. This kind of discrimination limits a homosexual's ability to provide food and shelter for his or her family. There's a special place in hell for those kinds of "Christians." Source: WWMT-TV.
