Reverend Homophobe (Ken Hutcherson) at it again

[TechBear_Seattle]

In 2004, Ken Hutcherson, pastor of the Antioch Bible Church in Kirkland, Washington, bragged that he had pressured Microsoft to pull back on support from a bill in the Washington Legislature that would have made discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation illegal. The measure was reintroduced in 2006 as House Bill 2661 (see http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/billinfo/2005-06/Pdf/Bills/House%20Passed%20Legislature/2661-S.PL.pdf">text of HB 2661) and passed. He led a referendum on the bill, which would have prevented it from going into effect and instead put it on the November 2006 ballot. His efforts failed to get enough signatures and the law went into effect on June 7, 2006.

Well, Rev. Homophobe... excuse me, Rev. Hutcherson is at it again. He has filed an initiative that would repeal HB 2661 and again make it legal to discriminate against gay people. All that is posted yet on the Washington Sec. of State web page listing initiatives filed for 2007 is a temporary description ("Related to repealing HB 2661"), his name as the initiative sponsor, the mailing address and telephone numbers of his initiative campaign and an email address. There are a few more hoops he has to jump through before a serial number is assigned, then the SoS will write a title and summary which will go on the page along with the text of the initiative itself. Stay tuned as we watch Christian love at work!
