Equality Wisconsin Funds Voices of Faith Project today released a letter signed by 33 pastors and rabbis from across WI calling on Gov. Scott Walker to maintain Wisconsins domestic partner protections.
As leaders in the faith community, we are committed to seeing that all families are given the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the welfare of Wisconsins children, the letter states, calling Wisconsins domestic partner registry and state employee domestic partner health benefits measures that not only protect the rights of LGBT families, but also strengthen our states economy, making it an open and welcoming community in which to further ones education, to work, and to raise children.
Pastors and rabbis from congregations hailing from Racine to Superior signed the letter. They were contacted by Voices of Faith, a project of Equality Wisconsin Fund that helps congregations speak up for lesbian, gay, and transgender equality from a faith perspective. Wisconsin became one of 15 states that provide some or all of the legal protections of marriage to same-sex couples in 2009.
Of course it is.It's different....
but i thought Christians hated gays?It's different that these Christians are coming to bat for gay people.
Here's part of the letter from the OP:
" As clergy who believe God loves all people created in the divine image, and that God, alone, will judge our ability to emulate divine love, we urge you to listen to voices of faith as you govern.
Looking ahead to the next four years, we hope you and your administration will continue to support and protect the important gains made for equal rights in our state, including those for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender citizens.
As leaders in the faith community, we are committed to seeing that all families are given the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the welfare of Wisconsin’s children. In that effort we applaud the work of Equality Wisconsin Fund, along with other state organizations, in passing laws creating the state domestic partner registry and domestic partner benefits for state employees. These measures not only protect the rights of LGBT families, but also strengthen our state’s economy, making it an open and welcoming community in which to further one’s education, to work, and to raise children.

Let me get this right....
Christians shouldn't be allowed to teach children or participate in politics, and politicians should not encourage them to do so..
UNLESS they're hooked up to the queer agenda?
Perfect Skysense.
