Miles to Go Before We Sleep . . . . Despite notable legal victories for marriage equality, Mark Sandlin reminds us that we are far from finished. “To believe that we’ve turned the corner on LGBT rights . . . is to believe that there is no racism in the United States, simply because we elected a black person as President twice. That would be naive, short-sighted and wishful-thinking. . . . . There is a great deal of vitriol, judgment and hurtfulness that is still coming from the Church toward the LGBT community. And the truth is, as marriage equality – the very thing that a portion of the Church stands against – is given legal protection, you can count on the judgement, marginalization and hatred getting louder, more aggressive and more absurd . . . . So, today I pledged to start talking about LGBT equality again. I’m asking you to do the same.”
