The American Prayer Hour - Nationwide 2.4.10

The American Prayer Hour is an inclusive, justice oriented event for prayer and action that is meant to counter the National Prayer Breakfast held by 'The Family' a right-wing fundamentalist organization that has been accused of ties to the “Kill the Gays” bill in Uganda.

The American Prayer Hour will take place nationwide and the hope is to stop the anti-gay bill from moving forward in Uganda, celebrate religious diversity, and to put a spotlight on the religious right and LGBT issues of equality.

The event is non-sectarian and open to people of all faiths or no faith at all.

For a list of locations or to organize your own please check out the American Prayer Hour.

National Black Justice Coalition Defends Rev. Eric Lee

The National Black Justice Coalition an organization comprised of LGBT people of color and allies is standing by a reverend threatened for his outspoken opposition to proposition 8.

The Rev. Eric Lee's position as the Los Angeles chapter president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference is now being threatened by the national organization for his outspoken advocate of marriage equality. Dr. Lee was very visible during the battle to defeat Prop 8, and the SCLC has sought a hearing, demanding that Rev. Lee explain his position on the issue (Pam's Houseblend).

It's time to stop the hate and demand that the SCLC keep the Reverend, this form sent to the president Dr. Byron Clay of SCLC will send a strong signal that you believe LGBT rights should be part of the civil rights platform of the organization.
