UPDATED How to grab the gay equality issue from the Left

I have a proposal for attracting to conservatism a demographic that’s up-for-grabs. There are three blog publishers who are in a position to do this. Each one could do it alone, but it will make a bigger impact if they hold hands and make the leap of faith together. My proposal is that at least …

Bookworm, Chai is wrong — homosexual equality and religious liberty can co-exist

I am not a registered commenter at Bookworm’s place, so I will have my say here. Regarding homosexual equality and religious liberty, she quotes lesbian attorney Chai Feldblum saying that the demands of the two are not reconcilable and that homosexual equality should win over religious liberty. Long-time gentle readers know I don’t think very …

Gays! Lesbians! What this means is, Obama NEVER will support homosexual equality

John Aravosis at Americablog summarizes Obama’s broken promises — aka lies — to the gay and lesbian community about supporting homosexual equality, repealing the Defense of Marriage Act and “don’t ask, don’t tell,” which would take half an hour tops for the Democratic-majority Congress to pass and messenger to Obama to sign.

I wrote a reply that was detailed enough to deserve its …

My forbidden love with Joe the Plumber is OVER

I have Charles Johnson’s blog, Little Green Footballs, in my newsfeed (look right) so that it is easy for me to keep an eye on his coverage of Creationism and Intelligent Design. As it happens, I have original correspondence and drafts supporting his recent denunciation of Melanie Phillips’ column in favor of Intelligent Design, which …

Ignore Meghan McCain on gay marriage at your peril, G.O.P.

On my daily rounds I came across one or two blogs denouncing Meghan McCain, which is not unusual, but somehow my curiosity was piqued. Anyway, I clicked through on the links and found — you are shocked, I’m sure — that I am delighted with Ms. McCain’s explanation of why she supports gay marriage and …

Adoption for lesbians and gays doesn't mean what social conservatives think it means

I have the impression, from a very small sample of evangelical families, including one I have known many years, that their religious leaders urge them to adopt children as a way of adding more converts to their flock. I expect, if this is true, that they press this cause in more idealistic terms. But, from …
