The 11th commandment.
"Thou shalt not discriminate," said the Rev. Abhi Janamanchi, pastor of Unitarian Universalists of Clearwater.
He and other ministers say the Largo City Commission violated that unwritten directive when it moved to fire Stanton, 48, last week after he disclosed that he plans to have a sex-change operation.
If you are interested in participating be at the front steps of Largo City tommorrow at 10:30 a.m. The address is 201 Highland Ave, Largo.
I imagine the the crowd will be surprisingly big. Mike Deeson of Tampabay 10 reported the the city received mostly positive emails about Stanton announcing his sex change. The commision chose to listen to Christian conservatives Ron Saunders and Charlie Martin. The former said, "If Jesus was here tonight, I can guarantee you he'd want him terminated." Since Stanton's termination, the public has been strongly disapproves of the City Commission's actions.
I wonder if he listens to his own bullshit when Rev. Saunders talks to his god.
ReplyDeleteIf God was here, he'd tell Saunders/Martin to their face: MAN, you're some kind of sinner...
sign sign everywhere a sign.
Unfortunately I have to be somewhere at an opposing time tomorrow but will be looking for a way to support this in any way possible.
Though why he'd want to work with that group of ... (sinners) is lost on me. I'd write a book and sign the movie rights away ....
