I just watched the documentary For the Bible Tells me So, which is alternately amazing (as it tells the story of Christian parents struggling to accept their gay children) and incredibly frustrating (as it bizarrely sets out to prove the Christianity is, by nature, accepting of homosexuality, and that the Bible never condemns homosexuality). I actually wrote my latest blog entry about that.

So how long will it be before we see similar actions taken by christian leaders in the U.S.?

It's already happening...there are more and more booths set up by religious groups at the local Pride festival every year..

Since when is Mardi Gras a gay celebration? I thought it was a New Orleans party, and Pride was the gay festival.

Maybe in Australia, it’s upside down? ;-P

(Having been a straight man who has been both to and in Toronto’s Pride Parade a few years running now, I say that one of the coolest parts is seeing all the churches representing themselves proudly with great floats supporting gay rights.)

Sometimes it’s nice when one’s expectations are not met, eh?

I think it was August who said it best… ‘in 20 years gay marriage will be legal…and Christians will be taking credit for making it happen.’
