Church leaders, at odds over gay marriage, unite against gambling
BOSTON (AP) – Religious leaders who took opposing sides in Massachusetts’ turbulent gay marriage debate have found something to bring them together again: casino gambling.
Governor Deval Patrick’s proposal to bring three casinos to Massachusetts has united religious groups who were once entrenched foes. It was just six months ago that 1 of the toughest gay marriage battles – over a ballot question that would have banned the marriages – ended when lawmakers killed the question.
Kris Mineau of the Massachusetts Family Institute, a leading anti-gay marriage lobbying group, says they can’t hold grudges.
New Hampshire has repeatedly killed efforts to expand gambling in the state. Supporters argue it is a better way to pay the state’s share of public education than a personal income or general sales tax – neither of which the state has.
New Hampshire lawmakers are keeping a close watch on Patrick’s casino proposal.

The Church should learn to shut their mouth and put their time to serve the community with the kindness and tolerance the biggest selling book of all time teaches. *mad*
