Falwell Is Dead
Falwell, the founder of the Moral Majority and Liberty University, had a long history of opposing gay rights.
In 1976 he, along with Anita Bryant, led the charge against gay adoption in Florida leading to the most repressive anti-gay adoption law in the US.
Following the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington in 2001 Falwell declared that gays and pro choice advocates were to blame.
I don't wish death on anyone. But today my thoughts are with all the people who suffered and continue to suffer because of people like this man. I wonder if his "faith" and "values" got him what he expected on the other side.

Amen.

Sadly, there's still more like him to carry on his "work".
