The [Man] Doth Protest Too Much, Methinks.

Pastor files plan to reverse gay rights rules

OLYMPIA -- A pastor opposed to new civil rights protections for gays and lesbians has filed an initiative to the Legislature to overturn them, but it's not likely to go anywhere because he would have to gather nearly 225,000 signatures by the end of the month.

The Rev. Ken Hutcherson, pastor of Antioch Bible Church in Redmond, filed the initiative Nov. 28. The initiative, which has not yet been given a number and the language of which has not yet been reviewed by the state code reviser's office, would remove the sexual-orientation facet of the state ban on discrimination in housing, employment, insurance and credit.

State lawmakers passed the gay civil rights measure in January.

I just don't get it. For what possible reasons would a "man of God" want to be able to legally discriminate against a homosexual?

My guess is that the Rev. Ken Hutcherson is in fact a closeted homosexual who is so repulsed by his sexuality that he is lashing out at everyone else. His actions definitely fit the M.O. that seems so prevalent in religious and political circles these days.

Poor guy, we should pity him; pray that he might find peace within himself to accept that which God has made.
