I long ago gave up on my metro council, they're despicable. Former Mayor Beverly Briley once called them "40 jealous whores" always angling for attention. I think he was far too kind. Ferrell is the biggest piece of $hit on the council, bar none, a whore unmatched. I was a part of making sure that trash didn't reach the Vice-Mayoralty last year, one of the few decent things we've done lately.

{Ferrell is a member of Glendale Baptist Church, which is an affiliate of the Alliance of Baptists, an organization of churches that separated from the Southern Baptist Convention in the late 1980s during the conservative resurgence. The Alliance of Baptists supports the ordination of homosexuals.}

I think Ferrell is pushing the gay rights bill to: (1) satisfy his lesbian pastor at his church and (2) give the "middle finger" to the conservative leadership of the Southern Baptist Convention. Ferrell is probably upset about the rightward drift that the Southern Baptists have taken during the past 10 years.
