Kentucky Church Bans Interracial Couples
Posted By Irene C. Olszewski, Esq. on December 2, 2011
In a move that has literally got the entire country talking (and shaking their collective heads), a small Appalachian church in Kentucky voted 9-6 to ban interracial couples from church services and and church functions. The Gulnare Freewill Baptist Church will, however, allow interracial couples to attend funerals.
It seems the entire issue came about because of an engaged interracial couple that performed at a church service. The good folks at the church told the pastor they would walk out if the white woman’s finance (who is black) ever sang again.
Pinch me. Hard. I woke up this morning thinking it was 2011. Perhaps I am still asleep.
