– American Family Association The AFA is throwing their toys out of the pram. Apparently the gaggle of other Western nations with open service are “feminized” and “neutered”. This is so ridiculous I can’t stop laughing. (via justjasper)

Joe Rehyansky, a part-time magistrate and Vietnam veteran, wrote on conservative news site The Daily Caller that lesbians should be allowed to serve in the military because straight male soldiers could “convert” them.
The Daily Caller swiftly removed some of his remarks but not before they were picked up by other websites.

New Poll: Churches are Bad for LGBT Community →
projectqueer:
Not that it’s any big news that the homophobic religious communities in America have been the root of many problems for the LGBT community, including the recent rash of suicides by our LGBT youth, but something that is a bit surprising, and perhaps actually very good news, is that according to a new poll by the Public Religion Research Institute, a large majority of Americans...

When faced with actions that conflict with the universal moral principle that we should not do to others what we...
The Gospel of Wealth →
Platt’s first target is the megachurch itself. Americans have built themselves multimillion-dollar worship palaces, he argues. These have become like corporations, competing for market share by offering social centers, child-care programs, first-class entertainment and comfortable, consumer Christianity.
Jesus, Platt notes, made it hard on his followers. He created a minichurch, not a mega one....
