There was a meeting may 5th 2009 in Marion,Iowa discussing the issue of hate crimes against homosexuals.
They are trying to make it illegal for pastors to preach on this subject.
I have not heard anymore about it this week.

Fred Phelps is giving christians a black eye with his hate tactics. It doesn't help the christian cause,that's for sure.

Yes,homosexuality is an abomination.
Leviticus 18v22:
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

However,these people need to know the Lord also.

Romans 5v8:
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
