saddly, it seems that ALOT of religious believe themselves to be BETTER then others and feel that THEIR RIGHTS are the ONLY RIGHTS that should MATTER.

Sorry, "many christians" is not accurate: "some christians" would be more accurate. The petitioners still represent a very limited minority. The media never denied them room. The FACT is that VERY FEW so called progressive christians raised really their voices in the far and recent past.

Roberto Carvalho de Magalhães Those petitioners are not the only ones who support LBGT rights. The people who are part of their organizations, churches and denominations are also behind them and they are many.

Martha Anne Underwood Still, the exceptions that confirm the rule.

The National Coalition of American Nuns, Catholics for Choice, DignityUSA, and (if not on the books, in practice) WATER are Catholic... and the Baptists have a signature, too. Pentecostal evangelicals tend not to have official institutional representatives for anything (they're loosely affiliated with one another) -- but organizations like the Metropolitan Community Church (and many others) represent refugees from these traditions and others (e.g., mormons). -- That said, the list may as well be a roll-call for the causes-people in liberal American religion. Many (but not all) are just as dogmatic as their opponents, and few probably care enough about the civil order to have read the SCOTUS decisions.

Alex Ajax Alexander Thanks, Alex, for the correction. I admire the American Nuns. They are, though, with WATER, among the rare exceptions that confirm the rule.

Roberto Carvalho de Magalhães they're total badasses. but rare, yes.

It said "SHOULD BE."

Carlo Fortunato it also says "As people of faith"

Mini Carlsson And? You seem to have read it as saying "We're special." That's not what it said.
