President of National Association of Evangelicals is Gay Meth Addict
It appears that the Evangelical Church has come out. The Rev. Ted Haggard was found to be buying drugs and getting "massages" from gay male escorts. According the accused (Haggard) he bought Meth but never used it. He was just curios about it. He also supposedly only received massages from the gay escort who was his Meth hookup. Apparently after the National Association of Evangelicals publicly voiced supported for gay marriage ban amendments his gay lover was upset at the hypocrisy and decided it was time for Haggard to come out. You can find the original article here. Here in Tennessee there is a proposed state level constitutional amendment on the ballot in this mid-term election. The exact wording of the proposed amendment is as follows:
"The historical institution and legal contract solemnizing the relationship of one man and one woman shall be the only legally recognized marital contract in this state. Any policy or law or judicial interpretation, purporting to define marriage as anything other than the historical institution and legal contract between one man and one woman, is contrary to the public policy of this state and shall be void and unenforceable in Tennessee. If another state or foreign jurisdiction issues a license for persons to marry and if such marriage is prohibited in this state by the provisions of this section, then the marriage shall be void and unenforceable in this state."
The Tennessee Equality Project is working with a campaign they call Vote No on 1. They outline many reason why the law is fruitless. The primary one being that it is already illegal to grant marriage certificated to same sex married couples here in Tennessee.
The opposition is Family Action Council of Tennessee and their campaign RealMarriage.org or "Vote Yes on 1. I for one find it funny they the Family Action Council of Tennessee uses FACT as an acronym they should have come up with a name that fit the acronym FAITH instead. There is very little fact on either of the opposition sites, but more than enough faith to go around.
The photo to the right of an Evangelical Church makes a lot more sense to me now. (The obviously doctored photo to the right came out much better than my GIMP skills should allow. I guess when you have some artistic inspiration the sky is the limit. Hehe…)
