At a House conference meeting, Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA) read from a Bible verse that calls for death for homosexuals shortly before the chamber voted to reject a spending bill that included an amendment barring discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, Roll Call reports.
“Passages in the verses refer to homosexuality and the penalty for homosexual behavior. ‘And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet,’ reads Romans 1:27, which Allen read, according to his office.
