At Mirror of Justice, Rick Garnett points to a National Catholic Register editorial that links, via the Connecticut state gov’t website, to a program of the Human Rights Campaign–”For the Bible Tells Me So: A Study Guide and Advocacy Training Curriculum. An excerpt:
The best advocate is a well-informed advocate. For too long we have let the Radical Right claim religious and traditional values as theirs. Advocates for LGBT rights have the same right to claim religious and traditional values as motivating factors in their advocacy. The same Bible that is a weapon in the hands of our opposition may become an instrument of healing as we discover its deeper and truer meaning when applied to political questions. The biblical prophecy of “beating swords into plowshares” is fulfilled as we deepen our understanding of scripture.
