Alabama Sen. Opens With Prayer Seeking "Forgiveness for Allowing Sexual Perversions"

The Alabama Senate was opened with a prayer on Tuesday that reflects what passes for wisdom in the “Heart of Dixie” state. David Gonnella, pastor of Magnolia Springs Baptist Church in Theodore, prayed “Forgive us for allowing sexual perversions to be considered as normal.”

Later, Mike Cason of AL.com, asked Gonella if he was referring to homosexuality. Gonnella said that he was referring to anything that God considers an abomination.
