Loving Christian forced not to out gays
Seems some Christians will go to great lengths to deny some Americans citizens their rights. Luckily, there are people who are beginning to stand up against them.
The head of the Christian Civic League of Maine apologized Wednesday for using the group's Web site to solicit information about the sexual orientation of lawmakers and other state officials.The apology capped a day of high drama at the State House, as politicians with views ranging from very conservative to very liberal united to condemn the league for trying to expose - or "out" - gays and lesbians.
Michael Heath, the league's executive director, posted his apology on the league's Web site shortly before the House of Representatives and the Senate criticized him for what House Majority Leader John Richardson, D-Brunswick, called "a witch hunt that serves no purpose except to intimidate this institution, its members and the people of the state of Maine."
