Amen from a queer person who feels particularly in the crosshairs of the Evangelical movement. We are the scapegoats du jour, as perhaps well illustrated by the murder last week of Lauri Carleton in California.

What makes it all the more frightening is that he doesn't seem to have been influenced by extremist figures on the fringe, but my mainstream Evangelical thought leaders.
