It's nice when religions speak up for what's right. Too bad that the noisiest religions surround hair furor, laying on hands (that is so weird) and praying for his evil agenda.

religious organizations speaking out about this. Sadly, many are in control of the Satan loving, worshipping fascists.

One word on the subject and their ridiculous tax-exempt status should be ripped away faster than a Hispanic child at the US border is right this minute.
