Brody's Notes... Anti-gay Traditional Values Coalition's Letter To Senior Citizens

Editor's Note: On Wednesday, we ran an op-ed by Dr. Evelyn A. Schlatter, contributing senior editor for the Southern Poverty Law Center's Hatewatch blog which dicusses the following image. In her published piece, Dr. Schlatter said:

"The Christian Seniors Association (CSA), a front group of the TVC, recently sent out a fundraising letter claiming that the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act (HCPA) of 2009, which added sexual orientation to the classes protected by federal hate crime legislation, “makes the Bible illegal ‘Hate Literature.’” The letter further claims that “under this law, criticism of homosexuality is deemed discrimination — just like racism,” and ultimately, the intent of the law is to “outlaw Christianity.”
