Robbinsdale Radical on The Laramie Project

Great post at The Robbinsdale Radical blog about the Laramie Project performance at Central High School. And Bob Ellis has to get his two cents worth about it. Of course, he wasn't there and is only using talking points from the politically motivated fundamentalist organizations that make their financial and political way by spreading lies, half-truths and exploiting fear and ignorance.

Ellis and his kind are not interested in truth or reality. They are only interested in advancing their anti-gay politically motivated agendas. They really don't want to be held accountable for the destruction their bigotry causes. That is why they hide their intolerance behind religious fervor.

If showing the truth about how Mathew Shepard's murder affected the Laramie community will bring about understanding, tolerance and acceptance of those of us who were born different, then so much the better. If that be a gay agenda, then I endorse it proudly.

If Ellis really wants to engage in a real honest, intelligent discussion of what the Bible really says and doesn't say about homosexuality, then I encourage him and others to attend the showing of "For the Bible Tells Me So" at the Journey Museum on April 5th at 6:30 pm. It is free to the public and a panel discussion will follow.
