From The Miami Herald:
A coalition of religious leaders from across Florida joined forces Thursday to speak against a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage.
Florida Clergy for Fairness, a group of interfaith clergy, say that Amendment 2 is mean-spirited and an infringement upon the religious freedoms of all Floridians.
”Hatred and bigotry are the motivations behind this,” said Father Frank Corbishley, an Episcopal Chaplain at the University of Miami, during a conference call with reporters Thursday morning. “It’s sending a dangerous message about intolerance.”
The measure, called the Marriage Protection Amendment, will appear on the Nov. 4 ballot and needs 60-percent voter approval for passage.
