Dear Jesus, please forgive the filthy homosexual for our nation's disgraceful divorce rate, all the abortions they've been having and the flood of unwanted children they poor into the foster care system. Amen!
In her prayer, Peevey took note of legislation the House has embraced this year to ban same-sex marriage and make it difficult for gays to adopt children."Holy One, convict those who are using their power not to lead or to guide but to harm the gay and lesbian citizens, a small minority in this commonwealth," Peevey said.
That didn't sit well with conservatives in the House. The usual amen chorus at the end of the prayer was noticeably muted.
