Rev. Jackie Carter is the pastor of the First Metropolitan Community Church in Wichita. For performing same-sex marriages, she is routinely receiving death threats.
From The New Civil Rights Movement:
The Wichita Eagle reports, "Some callers tell her 'to repent so I don’t have to suffer inhumane death at the hands of Satan.' Others have threatened specific acts of violence. Before the group wedding ceremony last month, two callers threatened to chop off her head and put it on a stake."
That group wedding Carter mentions was on November 17. Over a dozen same-sex couples married on the courthouse steps, and Carter was an officiant. But that joyous occasion was also marred by hate. A protestor, who can be seen in the video above, screamed, "God says no," repeatedly.
Carter described another threatening incident, just this week.
“The phone rang and I went to answer the phone and it was just somebody heavy breathing on it. Then somebody rang the door bell and then somebody started throwing rocks at the windows.”
How often do we liberals get called intolerant for our activism? "Oh, Brendan Eich resigned." "Oh, a wedding vendor got sued for violating the law." "Oh, Phil Robertson got suspended for being a douchebag."
This is true intolerance.
Look in the mirror, religious righties, and take the speck out of your eye before you take it out of ours.
