Reply #4: Liberal Christians... NOW Is Your Chance!!

[arwalden]

This was a law that was crafted to discriminate against homos and to appeal to the fundie Christians and their "traditional families" crusade. These Christians got what they wanted, and the appeals court agreed that discrimination was okie-diddly-okey.

But recently, I've heard a lot of encouraging reports on DU about all these LIBERAL Christians who embrace our cause and who are equally outraged at the actions of (or on behalf of) rightwing-Christians to make second-class citizens out of gays.

And now the homosexual minority (and their friends) will complain loudly and work to undo this faith-based discrimination. If what we hear is true, then our minority voices will be joined with a CHORUS of liberal Christians who are equally outraged.

I look forward to hearing about the liberal Christian leaders and liberal Christian groups who will rally around this cause. If they truly exist in the great numbers I've heard-tell about, then the outcry in Indiana against this type of faith-based discrimination should be deafening!

In the past, I've often faulted the liberal Christians for being complacent and doing nothing and saying nothing. Others around here have chastized me for doing that and have assured me that I'm wrong.

Many of the posts I've read recently suggest to me that the liberal Christians might have a collective backbone and that they could actually DO SOMETHING to counter the actions made on behalf of their fundie brothers and sisters.

Now's their chance! Who BETTER to mount a counter-attack than the liberal wing of the SAME group that was originally fighting FOR these laws and bans?

We are truly living in an exciting time, eh! I'm eagerly awaiting the support of liberal Christians. With the support of liberal Christians and their church leaders that's certain to come... I'm confident that these laws will be overturned with record speed.
