Pretty great article…
My favorites:
4) We have to give America a civics/history lesson. a) People don’t understand that the courts are there to protect minorities from mob rule – tyranny of the majority. b) People buy the line that anti-gay churches are just voting their values. Voting values is only to ensure that a religious group can practice their beliefs and live their values. It does not allow them to force other people to live by the rules of their church – effectively making everyone members – against their will.
5) We must do a better job making people understand the difference between civil and religious marriage. It must be hammered home. Until people get this simple point – we will have trouble.
