Gay Rights and the Right to Sanity
2011-10-01 23:04:00 This June 2011 article from the progressive website Religion Dispatches captures the essence of why I fight so hard for GLBT equality, particularly within the church. In his piece "The Battle Beneath the Battle: Do Gay People Exist?", Jay Michaelson says the issue is nothing less than the right to believe your own perceptions, and to be recognized as an authority about your own subjective experience. In a word: sanity.I've taken the unusual step of quoting the whole article because Michaelson's argument is so concise and well-constructed that to leave out any paragraph would undermine it. I've boldfaced key points. He writes: There?s a cognitive dissonance in our religious and political debates about homosexuality: it?s the only cultural struggle I can think of where one?s very existence is routinely denied by political opponents. African Americans have long had their humanity denied?but they are still seen, and recognized. Women?s rights and freedoms are again under attack, and ...

When we want to know what's best for the US military, who should you turn to first? Gay rights activists, of course. Here. Maybe they can consult the SEIU on Iranian nukes.

Gender Binary Versus Gender Spectrum: Implications for Gay Rights
2009-08-26 15:26:00 The "T" in GLBT causes anxiety for some gays and lesbians, or so I've heard. It's not only that a minority seeking mainstream acceptance may feel tempted to push some of its more flamboyant members out of the spotlight. Trans-people demonstrate the fluidity of gender, which potentially threatens one common argument for gay civil rights. Conservative Christians tout the dubious successes of "ex-gay therapy" to alter sexual orientation. Since change is possible, they contend, there really is no such category as homosexuals, and therefore they should not be a protected class under the law. Understandably, gay activists point to scientific research and personal testimonies suggesting that same-sex attraction is biologically based, innate and mostly unalterable. From what I've read about the ex-gay movement, it seems that the evidence is not on their side. Most participants merely learn to avoid acting on their undiminished desire for the same sex, and to conform to current stereotype...

2009-06-30 04:14:00 http://www.flickr.com/photos/kc-jc/ / CC BY 2.0 As we remember Stonewall and the beginning of the modern gay rights movement, the progressive community is understandably frustrated with the pace of our administration in bringing about real change. They have a point. Enough already with the military’s ridiculous “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy. And it’s about time we legalize gay marriage. Yet after the stunning parades this weekend and the first official recognition of the movement by a sitting working US President, I’m filled with more hope than ever before. Which is why I didn’t allow my blood pressure to rise when WFLA/News Channel 8 aired an “it would be disturbing if it weren’t so silly” documentaryinfomercial Saturday night about wicked gays trying to silence Christians.

Gay Rights Leader & Bishop, Gene Robinson, to Recite Inauguration Prayer
2009-01-12 20:10:00 After much ado about Obama's stinky pick of anti-gay pastor Rick Warren to conduct the Inauguration invocation, Obama did the yin-yang thing. He chose a renowned gay bishop, Gene Robinson, to perform the Inauguration opening prayer.My first thought was, oh, Obama is throwing crumbs to the LGBT community. But on second thought, you know what? I'll take the crumbs, however they may come. At least Obama made the effort. Put on a little lipstick before heading out the door. I'll take it. In fact, I feel downright jubilant about it. So I wanted to find out more about Bishop Robinson.

I still consider being against gay rights to be a hate crime, but my other opinions have changed.I can understand more why people don't want to legalize same-sex marriages because of "religious beliefs" or whatever, and I can respect that to a certain extent, but there's absolutely no reason why there can't be benefits provided for those in domestic partnerships and civil unions.While Pennsylvania is still full of hat...
