[Note: I have two very different audiences for my forthcoming book Confronting Religious Denial of Gay Marriage: Christian Humanism and the Moral Imagination, which is volume 1 of a series Confronting Fundamentalism Together. I write primarily to people outside the church, but I expect that a lot of my peer-to-peer marketing will happen between progressive Christians and their unchurched friends. My challenge is to create posts that won't alienate either constituency, even though some posts will appeal more to one group than to the other.]

My "brand" logo is the mobius-strip triskelion in the lower left corner of this jpeg. At the moment I don't have that image as a separate file.



"unchurched" posts

1. The legal right to marry is not enough. How do we claim moral equality?
2 . Opposition to gay marriage goes back to Plato, not Jesus.
3. The ancient world thought that sex threatened a man's masculinity. That explains a lot about Christian sexual obsessions
relatively "insider" posts
4. Anti-gay religious rhetoric can only be stopped from within Christianity. Here's how.
5. The Christian mainstream must reclaim the lead on gay marriage equality.
6. Progressive Christian humanists were claiming that gay marriages are holy decades before anyone said they should be legal.
common ground posts
7. If we want simple, honest respect for gay families, then Christian humanists and secular humanists have to stand together.
