More than 50 Alabama pastors signed a letter saying Moore has demonstrated “extremist values” incompatible with traditional Christianity and is unfit to serve in the Senate. And an anti-Moore rally at a Birmingham church on Saturday drew more than 100 people, some of whom carried signs decrying his opposition to gay rights. “The people in Alabama don’t like to be told what to do,” said Morgan, 69, who did not support Moore in the GOP primary. The state has been slow to embrace gay rights as well: 81 per cent of voters supported a ban on same-sex marriage in 2006. Patricia Todd, the state’s first openly gay state representative, says she has faced at least four death threats in recent years.
