A Baptist Church in Kentucky has voted to ban interracial couples from becoming members of the church.
The issue came to a head when a long time member showed up with her black fiancĂ©e. The church claims it will promote “greater unity among the church body.”
As I’ve said for a long time, scratch a fundamentalist Christian and you’ll find a Jim Crow, KKK adherent underneath the outer skin of respectability.
The people who are today denying gays equal rights are the psychological twins of those that supported segregation in the 1960s and before that slavery in the 1860s. If you give them a chance, they’ll be quite happy to roll back all of the progress made in the last 100 years.
In other words they’re complete assholes that you don’t come to an accommodation with, rather you do everything possible to eradicate them from the face of the earth.
