A Woman Warrior.

by on

James Pinkerton asks:

What words does one use to describe the story of a Christian, lesbian, Air Force pilot-turned-journalist-turned-Katrina-relief-activist-a story with a distinctly faith-based, voluntaristic "thousand points of light" orientation?

The answer: Cholene Espinoza, of whom I first took note here when she caught the eye of Fox News.

But will the lesbigay political and media powers take note of a woman who emphasizes the importance of personal action and faith over fealty to big government in social problem-solving?

Our new site. Yes, we've launched (major kudos to IGF's volunteers!). Yes, there are some issues with older postings. We'll fix them. But I think it looks pretty cool. And you can now comment on the main articles as well-hey, you don't just have Steve Miller to kick around anymore!

    This was already a great site. I’m old, so it takes me a while to get accustomed to changes — even when they’re good ones. But the new format does seem more…orderly.

    No matter how the story is being played by FOX, Cholene Espinoza is a positive example of what many gay and lesbian Americans are really like. It certainly will help people who think we’re all scumballs to see us in a more favorable (and realistic) light.

    I don’t agree — most people who believe gays and lesbians are nasty aren’t going to change their minds because of efforts to build up some new politically-correct or patriotically-correct celebrity.

    Espinoza is indeed an admirable woman, but those who would judge her willy-nilly for her sexual orientation aren’t going to change simply because of the good she’s doing. The rest of the world? Well, they “came around” a long time ago.

    The real solution is to let the bigots die off and hope people like Espinoza reach people who are still forming their opinion about gays — serving as a counterweight to anti-gay indoctrination.

    I suppose you’re right, Northeast. I have a troll right now, over at my blog, who’s raving and slobbering and defecating all over himself because I dared to speak of gay Christians, whom he insists do not exist. I gave the guy a good telling-off, and for my trouble all I got was more raving, slobbering and defecating — along with the charge that I’m “insane.”

    At the risk of sounding somewhat less than Christian, these people can’t die off soon enough to suit me.

    I’ve found that arguing with those sorts of folks is a bit like challenging the guy on the streetcorner in San Francisco who is ranting about the destruction of the Earth by space aliens next Tuesday. The best thing to do is just walk on by and leave them to ferment in their own excrement. 😉

    I personally like hear from LGBT people of various political viewspoints; D, R, I, Green, Lib, etc.

    It does not mean I always agree or disagree what what is said. I read stuff from “gay leftist” that was crap and stuff from “gay rightists” that was intelligent. vice versa also applies.

    “Virtually Normal” and “A Place at the Table” should be required reading for any discussion or class on gay rights, but much of what these two men wrote after these two books is really stupid.
