Dawn Breaks For Gay Rights?

On the Wrong Side of History, Again - The Smirking Chimp: ". . .A post-election survey of evangelicals conducted by Beliefnet and summarized in their article 'Evangelicals Sour on Politics' documented that '40.2 percent of the evangelicals surveyed favored the idea of Christians taking a 'fast' from politics.' The survey also revealed that nearly 60 percent of non-evangelicals have a more negative view of Jesus because of Christian political involvement. And chief among that 'political involvement' is the vile – and distinctly unChristian – campaign against gay and lesbian Americans, their children and families.

The American public is turning – slowly but surely – against hate-mongers who advocate discrimination in the name of religion. A recent Opinion Dynamics/Fox News poll documented that '60 percent of Americans favored some form of legal recognition for gay unions, 30 percent favored gay marriage, and 30 percent favored civil unions. . .'"
