Take a picnic to the Capitol today
Representative Senfronia Thompson from Houston will lead a rally on the South steps of the Capitol today in opposition to Proposition 2. Music starts at 1:30 and Representative Thompson speaks at 2. Representative Thompson is an amazing speaker and gave an impassioned speech on the House floor when Prop 2 was known as HJR 6.
Rep. Thompson says Prop 2, “… is blowing smoke to fuel the hell-fire-flames of bigotry.” So, take a picnic and a blanket and enjoy an amazing day in Austin with an amazing speaker known in Texas for civil rights and telling it like it is.
If Rep. Thompson is so concerned about hell-fire, she should spend more time reading her bible…
Leviticus 18:22-23 – Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion.
Leviticus 20:13 – If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
Marcus, Rep. Thompson has served 17 years in the state legislature. She’s the longest serving woman and the first African-American woman. I think we can count on her as a leader and knowledgeable about bigotry. If you think hiding behind a mis-interpreted Bible verse makes you seem like you’ve decided this issue, you’re just as big of an idiot as I’m afraid you are. The Bible is not a governing document for the State of Texas. Your misguided and simple-minded religious beliefs are not the way to rule people in America. So go crawl back in your hole. Idiot.
