Lesbian Minister Cancels July 4 Celebrations In Political Protest

Rev. Erin Splaine announced to her community Thursday that the Second Congregational Meeting House Society, Unitarian Universalist church would be canceling its customary July 4th celebrations, which include a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

Slaine claimed that white people experience the “Rights and Privileges” enshrined in the founding documents in a manner “tragically, often violently, and unequally applied to fellow citizens who are not white.”
