And a big round of no true scotsman...

During a sermon last October, Virginia GOP Lt. Governor nominee E.W. Jackson added to his long list of virulently anti-gay remarks by warning that marriage equality for gays and lesbians will result in the legalization of man-animal unions.
Jackson warned the crowd that if they don’t stop “Adam and Steve” it is going to “soon be Adam and a bull,” arguing that their family, school and community may be “overwhelmed by the torrent of wickedness” if they don’t stop same-sex marriage.

What a charmer. Can't wait to see the "new, inclusive" GOP try to polish this turd.
Here's a sort of strange thing. Jackson's Wikipedia entry is the usual self-edited puff piece. But it mentions he was "consecrated a Bishop in 1998."
I can't find which church org made him a Bishop, though. He says he was originally "licensed to preach" by Ebenezer Baptist Church in Boston. But the Baptists don't have Bishops. I know that because I used to be one.
("Licensed to preach" in quotes because he may be pulling a fast one here - usually preachers say they are "ordained," not "licensed."
He founded his own "non-denominational" church (naturally), called Exodus Faith Ministries. So maybe he consecrated himself as a Bishop. I'm not surprised by anything any preacher does.
