How much more of this sort of garbage can a community take?

Seems like I find way too many stories like this every day.  The accumulative power of endless stories like these is wearying.  When do we say enough is enough?

Thanks to James Hipps from gayagenda.com for this:

During a conversation about the division between LGBT and evangelical residents, Mayor Davis told the New York Times that gays won’t go to heaven. Now, the mayor of Vallejo, a Northern California community has had to spend a little time back-peddling.

In a statement issued earlier this week, Davis claims that he’s actively seeking to represent all residents of Vallejo, not only heterosexual ones.

The mayor, who is an evangelical, told the Times gays are “committing sin and that sin will keep them out of heaven.”

Davis is now claiming his remarks were taken out of context, and that he won’t use his mayoral position to promote his religious ideology.

Davis defeated a gay candidate for mayor of Vallejo in 2007 by only two votes.

When will people start seeing others not as symbols or representatives of group but as human beings?  I know I already know the answer to this.  Quite some time from now.  But I can still hope!
