Will Perkins has died

Anyone who was in Colorado, especially Colorado Springs, should remember Perkins as one of the leading bigot voices during the Amendment 2 nonsense in the early 90s. People like Perkins and Focus on the Family are the people who gave Colorado Springs the deserved reputation as a religious right, conservative nightmare.

He was 91...more evidence that the good die young. The link is a Gazette article which may require subscription...and it isn't worth subscribing to. But it's where I saw the headline so I linked it.

he was "misunderstood" ha, so he won't be missed.

Don't dance with the angels, Will. They might be gay.
