Pro Gay Rights Evangelicist

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Americans are a diverse, extraordinary, resilient, and passionate group of forgiving men and women. I wouldn't be standing beside them demanding full and equal treatment under the law and speaking out against the harm caused by religion-based bigotry at the National Equality March in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 11 if I thought they were not created in God's image the same as myself, same as my family, as we all are—we are all God's children.

These are the words of Brent Childers, an evangelicist, who is for gay rights. Hes basically one of a kind. In his article he talks about how he changed from a bigot to an open minded individual. Its really uplifting to see that people can change and for once someone has seen that the bible has positive values that have been used in politics on both sides.
