No Fear Here

I am a Christian and I am for equal rights…human rights for all. Many times, people become fearful of the thought of us all having equal rights. Fear has played a significant role in politics the last decade or so; especially when it comes to equal rights. Especially, when we speak of equal rights for the LGBT community.

I am a Christian and I believe in the right for marriage equality. To me, this is simply a human right issue, a social justice issue for the LGBT community. Fear has played a major role in this conflict and it is important that we continue to constantly educate ourselves on this topic and to not let fear take over this conversation.

For example, please review the new ad campaign developed by the National Organization for Marriage. This ad is driven by fear and provides misleading examples of how equal rights for the LGBT community will take away the religious rights of others. The Human Rights Campaign does a great job of reviewing the content of the ad, bringing forth the real truth to the allegations provided.

The Human Rights Campaign also does an excellent job of summarizing the Top Ten Reasons for Marriage Equality.

Please take the time to review the information so if the topic comes up in conversation you can be an advocate for equal rights.
