John Shore has started a petition asking his fellow Christians to "affirm that same-sex relationships are not inherently immoral." He's aiming for a million signatures; has about 2,000 so far. I know a lot of you aren't Christian, but it's still worth a read-- there's a list of reasons why people signed the petition, which range from the simple ("Jesus told us to love one another,") to the pointed ("There was a time not long ago when people used the Bible to justify slavery, discrimination against women, racial segregation, etc. The incorrect belief that being gay is a sin is the final frontier, and now is the time for Christians to step up on behalf of LGBTQ people,") to the poignant ("Because you can't pray away the gay. Believe me, I tried for 33 years.") And they're worth a read.

I love seeing Christians act so... so Christian.

Grin.
