You see people, this is what we're fighting against. Just as we are finally starting to make inroads in passing basic gay rights laws in various cities and in a few states across the nation, the right-wing is making an end-run ploy around such legislation by trumpeting federal intervention on their behalf for supposed "religious" freedom. You will hear more and more of this kind of rhetoric on the national level because they are losing on the local levels and they know it. No one is saying that a church has to hire a queer; what we are saying is that federal funds, your tax dollars, cannot be used in any way to discriminate. But the new faith-based crap that the Bush administration promotes like crazy is all about finding ways to utilize your tax dollars to discriminate, to proselytize, and to perpetuate a larger national Radical Religious Right-wing agenda the likes we have only begun to see. Wake up, America!
