Oh yes. And lest anyone write this off as the musings of fringe nutjobs, this group is hardly Fred Phelps. This is a group that has been defended by scores of lead religious right organizations in just the past year, including the Southern Baptist Convention , Center for Reclaiming America (attached to D. James Kennedy), the American Family Association's AgapePress , WorldNetDaily , the men over at the Concerned Women for America , Lou Sheldon's Traditional Values Coaltion , the freepers , and more. Here's what this darling of the religious right had to say about New Orleans : An evangelical Christian group that regularly demonstrates at LGBT events is blaming gays for hurricane Katrina. Repent America says that God "destroyed" New Orleans because of Southern Decadence, the gay festival that was to have taken place in the city over the Labor Day weekend.
