Gay activists plan rally in Williamsburg
The University of the Cumberlands -- which has drawn national attention for expelling a gay student -- is under attack simply for upholding scriptural teachings on homosexuality, Kentucky Baptist Convention President Paul Chitwood said today.

The overwhelming majority of the convention's 790,030 members back the Southern Baptist school's decision to expel 20-year-old Jason Johnson, Chitwood said. "I personally am 100 percent supportive," he said.

The Louisville-area preacher spoke out on the same day that gay rights activists announced plans for a protest rally near the school's Williamsburg campus next week.

Representatives of the Kentucky Collegiate Coalition, which represents gay-lesbian-bisexual-and-transgendered students, said people from nine Kentucky schools will participate on Wednesday. It's unclear if Johnson, who was in New York for media interviews yesterday, will attend.

What a shame the Baptist don't "uphold scriptural teachings" on not judging others and loving one's neighbor as oneself. Oh well, what can one expect from such a large hate group/terrorist organization? :shrug:
