[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.]

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.
