LGBT Marriage, Prop 8 and the Injustice
It’s been a while since I’ve written on my blog but I am in sensed by bigoted actions associated a number of people in the Church of Jesus Christ and others with a socially conservative interpretation of humanity. Essentially prop 8 and its supporters determine that all of humanity does not have rights. Human Rights do not apply to all people. Apparently human Rights apply to people that fit into a very narrow understanding of humanity. The passage of prop 8 was a travesty and prayerfully the evil perpetrated will be overturned.
As a graduate student of divinity and studying history the passage of prop 8 has echoes of the days when a persecuted Church was struggling for its own justice in the midst of society that did not want it. That society felt that the Christians were not right and were a threat to that society. It killed Christians by the thousands. Christians experienced bigotry, discrimination, legislative marginalization and more. Of course there have been other events in history that confirm the shortcomings of humanity.
My question is this why repeat the oppression that the Church and others fought long and hard to stop. Oh how hypocritical and evil is prop 8.
