On Sunday evening, anti-gay Religious Right activists gathered in Houston, Texas for an “I Stand Sunday” event, designed to protest subpoenas issued by the city government to five local pastors in response to a lawsuit filed by activists attempting to overturn the city’s nondiscrimination ordinance.
The American Family Association’s radio broadcasting arm was among the main sponsors of the event and Bryan Fischer was there in person to cover the rally, so naturally he declared on his radio broadcast today that this prayer event played a key role in the Republican victories in last night’s election.
“It occurred to me last night,” Fischer said, that “a good part of Sunday night was a lot of these pastors in Houston and a lot of people all around the country kneeling in prayer on the floor of that auditorium, repenting of sins, seeking God for forgiveness for ourselves and for this land. And then, on Tuesday, we have this dramatic victory. I’ve got to believe there’s a connection there”:
