Couseivaiive Cbiisdau group plaus to secede lu South Carollua COLUMBIA — A Texas group wants conservative Christians to move to South Carolina — 12,000 at a time — to form a biblically inspired government in order to then secede from the United States. Decrying a national tolerance of abor tion and gay marriage, and the teaching of evolution, ChristianExodus.org hopes to achieve a majority of like-minded Christians in the state by 2016, the planned year of secession. ChristianExodus.org’s leader is Cory Burnell, 28, who lives in Tyler, Tex., where he teaches at a local Christian school and runs a coffee shop and mobile phone store. The group is basically unknown to South Carolina’s government and reli gious leaders. And it is not being official ly tracked by such watchdog groups as the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors extremist Palmetto UMOIA holds iuaugural meetiug COLUMBIA — On june 19 a group of African-American gays and lesbians from South Carolina met to form Palmetto Umoja. The organization hopes to create a dialogue in the state on issues concern ing gays and lesbians of color, as well as foster a sense of visibility for that com munity. Alvin McEwen of Columbia, a member of the interim executive board, said the organization was initially formed because he noticed how African- American ministers around the country were teaming up with the religious right to speak out against gay marriages. He said he was bothered by the possibility of it happening in South Carolina. "As time went on and 1 talked to more gays and lesbians of color,’’ McEwen said, “I began to see that gay marriage is just the tip of the iceberg. Gays and lesbians of color face invisibility in both the gay and the African-American communities.” Palmetto Umoja is the first organiza tion of its kind in the state of South Carolina, an organization of gays and les bians of color who will be a vocal and active part of both the African-American and gay communities. Kenneth |. Hubbard of Charleston, another board member, said he feel very optimistic about Palmetto Umoja and will do all he can to ensure its success. "If 1 don’t stand up and fight for the rights for all of God’s people then every thing we do is in vain.” said Hubbard. "All the people who marched and died for our rights were marching for the rights for me to be free. What that means is that I now must take up the torch and carry that flame on for all the GLBT brothers and sister of color.” Members plan to establish by-laws, a mission statement and goals for the com ing year at the next meeting.
