"The
Apostolic Truth Tabernacle is in Greensburg, Indiana. That's the town
where Billy Lucas was bullied to death for being perceived to be gay by
his classmates. I wonder if they stood up and cheered at Apostolic Truth
Tabernacle when Lucas died—hey, another homo in hell. I wonder if any
of Lucas's tormenters attend services at Apostolic Truth Tabernacle. And
remember: I'm an anti-Christian bully for pointing out the connection
between what straight kids are taught about 'homos' in the shithole
mega-churches they're dragged to by their parents and what they turn
around and do to 'homos' they encounter in classrooms. And what if that
precocious little four-year-old singer is gay? Praise the Lord and pass
the barf bags." - Dan Savage, whose It Gets Better Project was launched in response to Billy's suicide.A personal blog by a graying (mostly Anglo with light African-American roots) gay left leaning liberal progressive married college-educated Buddhist Baha'i BBC/NPR-listening Professor Emeritus now following the Dharma in Minas Gerais, Brasil.
