Jerry Falwell Dead At 73

The man who will long be remembered in the GBLT community as a voice of intolerance and hate has died. Rev. Jerry Falwell was found dead in his office in Lynchburg, VA. His group "The Moral Majority" has been noted as being the galvanizing force behind the election of Ronald Regan and his influence was still felt in Washington.

On a personal note, I am saddened to see this news. I had long hoped that Falwell would someday see the error of his mean spirited preaching and repent. Well, it was a nice dream anyway.
