South Dakota: “Hate-crimes bill spurs dueling warnings”

Jon Walker reports in the Argus Leader: “‘We will not tolerate hate perpetrated against vulnerable populations,’ said Karen Mudd, a board member of Equality South Dakota, which backs lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents. . . . ‘This bill infringes on a Christian’s right to speak out on any type of sin. Christians should be able to speak in society and seek to change society,’ said pastor Matthew Haag of Grace Community Church.”
