Carl Sherman on Civil Rights

 

 


Defend women & ethnic groups whose rights are under assault

State representative Carl Sherman announced the long-awaited start of his U.S. Senate campaign against Ted Cruz. Sherman, a 57-year-old Church of Christ pastor from the Dallas County city of DeSoto, is the third prominent Democrat to throw his hat in the ring.

Without uttering Cruz's name, Sherman, in his campaign announcement, said he was running to defend all Texans whose rights are "under assault," including women, members of underrepresented ethnic groups, and the LGBTQ community. "We have a nation of leaders who have forgotten the least of these," the pastor said, referencing Jesus's exhortation in Matthew 25 to serve those in need. "What good are you if you will not concern yourself with those who God is concerned about?"

Support for the LGBTQ is a deeply held moral obligation

I am a strong ally to the LGBTQ community. As a Pastor, I believe we are all created by God and our creator made all of us from one. It is that unity of thought, concern, compassion and understanding that I seek to serve the needs of the LGBTQ community. Support for the LGBTQ is a deeply held moral obligation for me. As a Pastor, I am very troubled when human beings attempt to usurp the authority and love of God.
