Hate contorted faces

The Allegheny County Council held hearings about a proposed Human Rights Commission, which is to enforce protections on many classes of people, including gays. Angelle Guyette, a freelance writer in Pittsburgh, attended and wrote an op-ed for the Pittsburgh paper. She was astonished at the way hate contorted the faces of Christians testifying against the commission. Why were they singling out this particular "sin" and doing so with such ferocity? It doesn't make sense. She wrote:

A person of faith, I quit wearing a cross around my neck in public some years ago to avoid being identified with a growing "Christian" culture of bigotry and intolerance. After that County Council meeting, though, I'm finding it difficult even to pray: How can God let such hateful evil use His name?

She concludes with:

Our laws should protect everyone. This is the only way to protect our own freedoms against those who might one day turn on you, or me, or us.
