A Conservative Christian case for defending same-sex marriage as a civil right Or Wow! I found a calm, rational, pro-civil rights conservative Christian! This person's basic argument is that if conservative Christians want civil rights protections to protect their rights to their beliefs and practices, then they must support civil rights for all, even those with whom they strongly disagree. I went to this person's main site, Musings on Christianity, Homosexuality, and the Bible, and found that it's a woman who has made it a personal mission to learn and think about homosexuality. She's married, a mother, and a "conservative Bible-believing Christian". While she does believe that "homosexual acts" are sinful, she does not believe that sexual orientation is a choice. She seems to be a kind, compassionate, intelligent, thoughful, genuine person. Wow, how refreshing. Following is a great excerpt from one of her other essays: If I only had a dollar for every time I have felt embarrassed by other Christians, or at least by those who have tried to pass themselves off as such. Now this wouldn't be surprising coming from a liberal Christian, but this is a conservative Christian! Her essays are well-written, thoughtful, and very human. The only "bad" thing about her site is that there isn't more on it! I guess she's gotten busy with other things, because she hasn't added to it since 2002. But what's there is quite valuable. P.S.
George W. Bush
is "a miserable failure on foreign
policy and on the economy and he's got to be replaced."
