Revolt! Voters Torpedo 'Gay' Special Treatment

Only days after Indiana rushed through a change in its state law amid a backlash led by homosexual-rights groups and Arkansas reacted by modifying a similar law before it was adopted, voters in Springfield, Missouri, have moved the opposite direction.

The city repealed an “anti-discrimination” law adopted only months ago.

In the election this week, 51.4 percent of voters decided to reject the law, which had been adopted by the Springfield City Council in October.

Opponents had quickly organized a successful petition drive to force the public vote.

“The churches were startled and alarmed and began to get involved (in the ordinance repeal),” Calvin Morrow, who was part of a Christian group advocating for repeal, told Associated Press. “They were the target.”

He questioned whether there was “discrimination” against homosexuals in Springfield and told AP the dispute divided the city.
