Humanists Condemn Moscow Pastor

In a news release today, the American Humanist Association said:

"The Humanists of the Palouse, a chapter of the American Humanist Association, publicly condemns the bigoted comments of Pastor Doug Wilson, regarding slavery and marriage equality. Wilson, as pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, is a prominent and outspoken member of the community and a national figure. He recently stated on his blog that supporting same-sex marriage is a 'far more serious' problem than supporting slavery. 'Wilson is already well-known for his strong opposition to LGBTQ rights and his white-washing of American slavery, but his recent comments callously unite the two in one deplorable statement,' said Steven Simmons, a board member of the Humanists of the Palouse. 'We are appalled at the assertion that systematic ownership of human beings would be considered more moral than legalizing marriage between two consenting adults.'" More here.
