When someone mentions the Catholic Church, the Mormon Church, the Southern Baptist Church, or any other church for that matter, I think of the leadership within most of these mega-institutions and the only associations I can come up with are hate, judgement, exclusion, lies, gluttony (Rick Warren, Mike Huckabee before gastric bypass), hypocrisy, bigotry, homophobia, twisted sexual hang-ups, and ... well... you get the idea. It is not a pretty picture. So this neat little clip sounds quite nice to me:
I seethe NOT because my son is gay. I seethe because he lives in a country in which some elected officials find it politically advantageous to deny him dignity, basic rights, and protections. I seethe because there are people who preach hatred and discrimination towards gays yet claim to be "good" and "loving" Christians. I seethe because there are groups who claim to be "advocates" for the family but who work to do great harm to any family that doesn’t fit their narrow template for “normal”.
