Anti-gay Dallas Councilman says God’s law prohibits gay marriage, tells me to read Bible (w/ video)

Anti-gay Dallas City Councilman Sheffie Kadane was surprisingly quiet during a committee briefing Monday on same-sex marriage. However, I unexpectedly got an opportunity to chat with Kadane immediately after the briefing.

Last June, Kadane railed against a proposed resolution in support of same-sex marriage. Kadane, a member of First Baptist Church of Dallas, repeated his opposition to the resolution during a committee briefing last month.

On Monday, Kadane basically told me he would support equal benefits for LGBT city employees as long as they don’t violate state laws banning recognition of same-sex marriage. He also told me same-sex marriage is against God’s law and that I need to read the Bible because I’m evidently not a Christian.

Watch the encounter below.
