Thomasville anti-gay resolution vote hits A.P.
So the news on the Thomasville City Council’s approval of an anti-gay marriage resolution has hit the Associated Press. News is circulating around the state and even as far as Norfolk, VA, and Myrtle Beach, SC.
Here are two more articles:

Of course… leave it to the AP (and The Winston-Salem Journal as well) to leave out any mention of the NC Advocacy Coalition, the group largely responsible for bringing people to the meeting to speak against the measure. Kind of upsetting that the Reverend Ron Baity gets mentioned and gets an official opinion across through the media but the other side doesn’t get the chance to insert any official opinion or positions. Seems a little biased to me.
It seems as though the AP article was based loosely on the article from The Winston-Salem Journal, which included quotes from EqualityNC executive director Ian Palmquist. Don’t get me wrong, I love (brotherly! lol) Ian and EqualityNC and I work with them… It just kind of irks me that the one group (NC Advocacy) which took action on the ground level was ignored by both the Journal and the AP.

We had the opposite experience in Chapel Hill when the Called2Actioneers came calling.
I’m sure the pastor at the center of this will understand when I say “as you sow, so shall ye reap”. Sad times for Thomasville.
