Today's Cultural Warfare Update
May. 7th, 2006 10:41 pmAccording to a long letter posted on LJ Seattle, it appears that the Grays Harbour student vote is a little more interesting than I first thought - according to the poster's message, the vote is supposed to be only on the technical merits of the charter, and not a vote over whether you like or dislike the club or its purpose. So the senator in question - a fundamentalist now being supported by the Faith and Freedom Network and, according to the post, the local Republican party - voted not on the charter merits, but because she thinks GBLT people are evil and paedophiles and homosexuality is a sin.
Anyway, I don't have any action on this, nor do I think there really needs to be any, but it is interesting that this is continuing to pop around. I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see it be tossed around by the fundamentalist media next week, if it's a slow week otherwise.
Focus on the Family news article and ACTION ITEM to support anti-marriage-rights amendments in seven states, also supports an effort to overturn Massachusetts's same-sex marriages via initiative; the article compares marriage rights to Soviet Communism under Brezhnev; ACTION ITEM is also to write in to support the Federal anti-marriage amendment;
Focus on the Family ACTION ITEM to join the anti-marriage-rights postcard campaign;
Focus on the Family pushes "ex-gay" group P-FOX, which is attempting to get "ex-gay" materials into school systems as the "truth about homosexuality";
FotF Newsbrief on Georgia judge still not ruling on a challenge to Georgia anti-marriage initiative;
Kansas legislature considering anti-abortion materials be introduced in schools as part of the curriculum;
I don't actually care much about this case and I think it's unfortunate that the initiative to donate the land was overturned as unconstitutional, but they're up in arms, so: Mt. Soledad Cross ordered taken down by California judge as an unconstitutional endorsement of religion by the state;
American Family Association condemns Eastern University's refusal to let Repent America distribute anti-gay literature on campus while the Soulforce Equity Ride group was visiting;
AFA/Agape Press's version of the Focus on the Family story about the Navy chaplain who disobeyed orders; he claims the order was illegal; they, at least, acknowledge the Navy's assertion that he disobeyed orders and relate how.
