This past Saturday in Houston, several thousand people gathered for a day of prayer. From the stage, radical leaders led the audience in sometimes wild chants calling for God to intervene on the alleged moral crises facing the traditional family; while others called for prayer to break out in every classroom across the country.
Most disturbing of all, the event was organized and keynoted by Governor Rick Perry – who was elected to represent all Texans and is rumored to announce his candidacy for the presidency in the next few days. He partnered with some of the most viciously anti-gay groups in the country on The Response, including the American Family Association (AFA) – who footed the bill for the day of prayer.
Despite this, Governor Perry thanked the hate group directly, saying:
“I want to thank those people who worked so hard to make this day a reality, including Mr. Don Wildmon of the American Family Association, Louis Cataldo, yea, Doug Stringer of Turning Point Ministries.”
