Evangelicals’ Awakening, Cont’d

by on

Reader Casey P. points us to this touching account of young straight evangelicals who took part in the G/L "Day of Siilence," to the gratitude and understandable surprise of their gay peers. Another straw in the wind of changing evangelical attitudes.

    Glad to hear it.

    Too little too late?

    The materials in question dealt with issues that may be faced by religious gay students, or by gay students challenged about the sexuality by people from different faiths. One passage cited in the ruling says that ?historically, Biblical passages taken out of context have been used to justify such things as slavery, the inferior status of women, and the persecution of religious minorities.? Such attitudes have led some religious groups to declare ?that homosexuality is immoral,? the group?s materials state, while others ?have begun to look at sexual relationships in terms of the love, mutual support, commitments and the responsibility of the partners rather than the sex of the individuals involved.?
