The Good Reverend and Gay Rights
12 November 2004"'Who succeeded in the great cultural battle over race and rights … those who could use religion to inspire solidarity and self-sacrificial devotion to their cause.'" Joe Crea, of Washington Blade, quotes author David L. Chappell on the function of the church in the civil rights struggle, and whether or not gay activists must likewise find a religious leader to personify their cause, and employ religious arguments against inequality. However, as Crea notes, that could be a problem for gays who've been "'beaten up'" by organized religion and want to wash their hands of it.
