Hate Group's Political Rally at California Church
The Pray Vote Stand Summit, hosted by the anti-LGBTQ+ hate group Family Research Council (FRC), will take place on October 17 at a Chino, California, megachurch.
This event follows the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) July decision to allow pastors to endorse political candidates from their pulpits without jeopardizing their tax-exempt status.
The IRS decision was made in a court case brought by National Religious Broadcasters and several churches, potentially paving the way for further use of tax-exempt church resources to influence politics.
The Christian right made inroads into using tax-exempt church resources to influence politics, with the possibility of more progress to come.
