For a secretive organization, they sure flap their yaps a lot. Also using the words 'personal freedom' while banning gays is a nice touch.
Freemasons in Tennessee voted to uphold a ban on gay members Thursday during a members-only meeting in Nashville, according to Freemasons who witnessed the vote.
Two Freemasons confirmed the results to The Tennessean, but asked for anonymity since business conducted at the meetings is secret, and revealing it could have them kicked out of the organization. The vote took place at the Grand Lodge of Tennessee on Seventh Avenue North near Broadway.
Freemasonry is a fraternity of men who, according to the lodge's website, are dedicated to "building the moral character of its members and the preservation of personal freedom." Freemasons also are known for their charitable work and across the nation donate $2 million daily to charitable causes, according to the website.
