Canada's Arm River Hutterite community in Saskatchewan has taken an unprecedented political stand by writing the prime minister to warn him that Canada could become the next Sodom and Gomorrah if same-sex marriage is legalized.

Never before have the intensely private Hutterites taken such a public -- and political -- stand, says the CBC, adding that the religious sect tries to maintain political neutrality and its members do not usually vote in elections.
