"Sunrise Children’s Services is working to recover from a massive budget shortfall after Kentucky churches withheld $7 million because the children’s home had proposed ending its policy of discrimination against LGBT employees.

Bill Smithwick, the then-director of Sunrise Children’s Services, proposed last year that the home allow employees who were openly gay and lesbian over fears that government funding would dry up.

After churches in Kentucky began withholding their donations, Smithwick was forced to resign, and the children’s home did not change its policy."

4. That is why we need more government and less churches helping people.

Sorry to say churches are very bigoted organizations.

5. Amen to that.

Not being sarcastic.

Expecting churches to cover the charities means all kinds of discrimination against GLBT, single moms, people of color, folks that express themselves differently, like with tatts and piercing, etc.

6. True.

Obama took money away (though the HHS) from Catholic relief services international as they would not provide contraception/abortions for sex trafficking victims. They also refused to assist gay people.
