Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings did not give in to politically correct pressure during the U. S. Conference of Mayors in Washington, D.C. Dozens of his fellow mayors signed a petition asking Congress to legalize gay marriage. Rawlings did not.
Rawlings didn't go so far as to say that he doesn't believe gay marriage is right, in fact, he's waffled since then on "protecting the rights of all citizens," but he is to be commended for refusing to affix his signature to such a ridiculous document. The newspaper says that Rawlings's stance has disappointed advocates for the gay and lesbian community. "It is his role," said Roger Poindexter of Lambda Legal. ". . . He's here to serve all the citizens of Dallas . . ." I can agree with the last portion of his statement, and that's exactly what Mayor Rawlings has done. It is in the best interest of all the citizens that we take the moral high ground and refuse to kowtow to political correctness by endorsing an abomination against God.
My prayer is that God will cleanse our land of homosexuality and raise up more men and women who have the fortitude to stand up for what's right no matter what it might cost them personally. Mayor Rawlings is a good start.
