A day after electing their first African-American president in a
historic move that strives to erase its legacy of racism, Southern
Baptists passed a resolution opposing the idea that same-sex marriage is
a civil rights issue.
Thousands of delegates at the denomination’s annual meeting in New
Orleans on Wednesday were nearly unanimous in their support for the
resolution that affirms their belief that marriage is “the exclusive
union of one man and one woman” and that “all sexual behavior outside of
marriage is sinful.”
The nation’s largest Protestant denomination is attempting to broaden
its appeal beyond its traditional white Southern base. At the same
time, leaders said they feel it is important to take a public stand on
their opposition to same-sex marriage — an issue that has been at the
forefront of social debate.

Has O"Malley and Obama seen this? Watch them both change their minds for votes. O'Malley will be running for President in 2016. Hope we can run him out of Maryland before that.
