For those of you who may, like me, struggle with reconciling who you are as a fully actualized human being (an out of the closet lesbian), with current Christianist views on gays, see a couple of thoughtful posts on Andrew Sullivan's blog. Read HERE and HERE.I for one can't resolve how Christians can be so certain, so outspoken and politically militant in regard to gays, yet on issues like torture, to use one example, Christians are virtually silent, or worse, support candidates that advocate its use. I just don't get why one issue, homosexuality, is so defining of "values voters" yet the other, torture, is not.

Remember the Inquisition? Christians have been condoning torture for centuries.
Even James Dobson, beloved by Christians, advocates beating children.
I haven't missed your point, and I actually concur. But, since you mentioned torture...just remember that the definition is pretty fucking broad.
