Washington’s Anti-Gay Preacher: God Will Kill Gay People | In an opinion piece published on CNN.com, Ken Hutcherson, the leading opponent of marriage equality in Washington state, predicts that gay and lesbian will be killed by God for loving people of the same gender. “Unrepentant sin destroys you and will kill you,” he writes. “So if I believe the word of God, that He will bring judgment on a people, then I would be a very bad shepherd not to warn those people.” The Washington legislature recently passed marriage equality legislation and Gov. Chris Gregoire (D) has pledged to sign the measure on Monday. Opponents of same-sex marriage are now collecting signatures to repeal the bill through a public referendum. (HT: OnTopMagazine)
