Campaign to end religious-based bigotry
I've been getting all kinds of e-mails from a group called Faith in America that bills itself as "the emancipation of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people from bigotry disguised as religious truth."
Coinciding this morning with the National Day of Prayer, Mitchell Gold's Faith in America announced it would commence Sunday a five-city "Call to Courage" campaign. Target cities are off the beaten path: Ames, Iowa; Reno, Nevada; Manchester, New Hampshire; Greenville, South Carolina; and Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Here is what Gold had to say:
We're asking Americans to be courageous and to join us in a stand against discrimination in all forms. As a nation, we have exhibited such courage in the past by rejecting the use of religion to sanction slavery and the subjugation of women. This campaign is a first step toward putting an end to bigotry disguised as religious truth and creating a just world where everyone will be allowed to flourish in America without prejudice.
