Get Equal Calls on Southern Baptist Convention to Apologize

 

From an email alert of theirs:

... We're calling on the Southern Baptist Convention to issue an apology to the LGBT community for its repeated and reckless discrimination, and for the very real pain and destruction that discrimination has caused.

... It's time to call out religion-based bigotry for what it is, and to remove religion as a crutch for discrimination. We're starting with the Southern Baptist Convention, whose clergy has for years terrorized LGBT youth and their families with promises of hellfire and brimstone. Your signatures will be delivered directly to church members and leaders at their big annual convention in Phoenix next week.

Here is their press release.
