Immigrant, Gay Rights Groups Form Alliance — And Meet Resistance Among Some Latinos

Elected officials joined them in making the announcement, which came as no surprise. The news media had been alerted days in advance.
But for Bishop Angel Nunez of the Bilingual Christian Church of Baltimore, a longtime CASA of Maryland ally, the news struck out of nowhere.
