As clergy, we must speak out against despicable acts such as this. As clergy, we must condemn our fellow clergy who preach hate that leads to this. As clergy, we must demand passage of a federal hate crimes law that will prevent acts such as this and provide a means to prosecute such horrendous acts.

After 10 years of hard debate, and from the first time Judy Sheppard called on Congress to create such a law to protect the LGBT Community against hate crimes, the day we all been waiting for was here today!
