They check the direction of the blowing wind, straddle the fence, and are afraid to offend constituents. Many gays and lesbians have been hurt emotionally, spirituality, and personally by the attitude and actions of the church.

The religious right has entered into an unholy and adulterous relationship with the Republican Party and the Bush government. The message of the gospel has been diluted.
Phobic hate is the result.
