Dear MLK, Please come back. We need you!


Where is the Martin Luther King of our generation? A Christian (or Baptist or Mormon or Catholic or Episcopalian or whatever) minister who marches [to Haight Ashbury?] in support of gay rights? Someone who, because of their faith, is moved to speak out against the moral injustice of prop. 8? Someone who gives impassioned, altruistic, eloquent speeches about the indignity of the second class citizenship suffered by gay people? He does not exist. Why? Because the Bible calls gays "an ABOMINATION." It does not call black skin an abomination, because the authors of the bible were at least intelligent enough to know that one doesn't choose one's race. But, sadly, they were not educated or sophisticated enough to realize the same about ones sexuality. Why? Because the Bible was writen 2,000 years ago by men with the modern equivalent of an 8th grade education--not by any divine, prescient supernatural being. But by philistines...literally. Okay, maybe not literally...but you know what I mean. I hope.
