Let's see, I won't dig up every link about Rev. Laney and his work to promote equality in this community and elsewhere, but here's a few articles that mention him:

http://www.mlive.com/living/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2011/01/first_american_prayer_hour_bre.html
http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2009/12/churches_to_leave_homeless_min.html (this one sadly does show that there are plenty of Christians left who actually are homophobes, but there would be no story here if there weren't plenty of them opposing the homophobes)
http://www.pridesource.com/article.html?article=43062

His church and many, many others are also listed among the affirming congregations here. If you feel like opening your mind a little.

(Edited cause I messed up a link, whee.)

don't try to rope me into your delusions.

What can I say - maybe I spent too long in Ace Attorney fandom, but when someone says something that I know to be untrue, I have this need to present evidence that proves they're wrong.

But hey, maybe you're right and I should go picket some funerals and burn some witches. Luckily I'm engaged to one, so I won't have to look too hard.

oh my God THIS COMMENT IS FUCKING HILARIOUS

Oh please, let yourself. The delusions you're currently operating under are odious at best.

... prejudice troll, is that you?

Where the fuck have you been?

Can I also mention a certain Mr. Desmond Tutu, who by the way, has done so much to promote equality not only for homosexuals, but also for women, minorities and a lot of other people as well?

Did I mention he is a Christian?

Hey, mention as many as you like - I was just pulling this example out because he's someone I know and interact with on a regular basis. There are tons of Christians (not to mention people from other religions) out there who are working for equal rights, who no one will ever hear of outside of their own communities because they just don't have the resources or the interest in self-promotion that, say, Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck do.

Hey, I know I'm late, but I just wanted to let you know how wonderful you are for mentioning Desmond Tutu. He rocks. He is a true badass. And I say this as a lapsed Christian who usually has no time for organized religion.
