The Republican Party is probably breathing a sigh of relief that Senator Lisa Murkowski chose to run an independent write-in candidacy in Alaska this year after Joe Miller beat her in the primary. They are probably breathing a sigh of relief because Miller is about as dead in the water as they get in politics having managed to run afoul of his security team arresting a journalist and his lies catching up big time. This does not mean that Murkowski is a shoe in to win reelection, especially given her anti-LGBT actions in the past, and the problems of spelling Murkowski correctly.

At the recent Alaska Pride Conference, Mayor Scott McAdams spoke to the gathered LGBT Alaskans, but Senator Lisa Murkowski, who was invited, was speaking at Anchorage Baptist Temple and praising Reverend Jerry Prevo, who brags about his legacy of hatred and helping to prevent LGBT Alaskans from obtaining equality.

At her speech, she stated:

Pastor Prevo, Mrs. Prevo, it is such an honor and a real delight to be with so many here today to celebrate this pastoral anniversary. Think about where you were in 1971. What was going on in your life. Well, here in Alaska… Everyone’s now starting to talk… think about what was going on in 1971… We just passed the Alaska Land Claims Settlement Act that led to the development of our Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Think about how our state has transformed with the advent of that line and what oil has brought to our country, our state.

That was the same time that Pastor Prevo and Mrs. Prevo came to Anchorage and began to build this community – 135,000 people in Anchorage at that time, and think about the changes that we have seen within our community, within our state. And so much of what we’ve seen that has been good and strong has been built right here at the Anchorage Baptist Temple by Reverend Prevo. Think about the ministries. We saw the children’s ministry here today and the delight in the children’s faces. The ministries for the men, the women’s connection, the recovery ministries – so many of the good things – the Anchorage Christian Schools, so much that has been developed under the leadership of this man, with the love and support of Carol Prevo. This leadership is demonstrated on a daily basis and we benefit from it.

And Pastor, I want to thank you from a very personal note for what you did to celebrate the life of a great Alaskan. It was here in this church that Alaskans and people around the country paid tribute to a great Alaskan, Ted Stevens. And what you did, and your guidance and how we showed our final respects was a tribute to all of Alaska. That leadership doesn’t come without the greatness of a man. We thank you for what you have given our community – the guidance you have shown, and the love for so many. Continue it for another 39. Thank you.

n this video, Prevo speaks out against LGBT equality and fear mongers in order to try and push the idea of just how people should be afraid of The Gay.

Senator Murkowski’s support for an anti-LGBT pastor should not be surprising given that she recently turned her back on the LGBT Community by supporting the filibuster of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’s repeal in the Senate. . .and not just filibustered the bill’s final passage, but filibustered the actual debate there of.
