Yup, LGBT rights again

This photo came from the Southern Poverty Law Facebook page. I totally love it.

Everyday my social media feed is loaded with all kinds of stuff. Right now, it's particularly full of LGBT rights postings.  This one above is one of my favorites.

As we approach the day that the US Supreme Court will begin to look at the constitutionality of gay marriage, I'm seeing so very much in the press.  Here's the two stories I read to today that really jumped out at me:
http://www.latimes.com/nation/nationnow/la-na-texas-same-sex-marriage-20150422-story.html

and.....
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/05/us/advocates-seek-civil-rights-bill-for-lesbian-gay-bisexual-and-transgender-americans.html?_r=0

So on the one side, you have folks trying to legislate against gay marriage, and on the other side you have folks trying to legislate for gay marriage. In the article from the LA Times, the bill in Texas passed out of committee because of votes along party lines (i.e. Republicans voted for and the Democrats against). This is yet another reason I'm a Democrat. And I'm Christian.

I've never seen anything in the Bible where Jesus avoids those society shuns.  Jesus jumped right on in there with EVERYONE. It makes me so very sad to see so much discriminatory stuff coming from 'Christian' groups. Family Research Council, which I'm sure considers themselves a Christian group, has a page on the Southern Poverty Law's webpage under 'extremist files'.

I'm Christian AND I support LGBT rights.

Peace.
