The organization People For the American Way, a group to whom solarbird and I periodically give money, has a petition up to fight the FMA:

We thank you for signing the Save Our Constitution petition. Our Constitution begins with the words "we the people," and we are those people charged with defending its ideals and principles. So are your family, friends and neighbors. Please ask them to sign the petition today while news of Bush's announcement spreads.

Send others this link with a personal note urging them to sign the petition: http://www.pfaw.org/go/save_our_constitution

With sincere appreciation for all your efforts,
People For the American Way

And while we're on the topic of this, also due to elflad, I went over to Wil Wheaton's blog to see the post he made coming out in support of gay marriage. Very eloquently written, but what struck me just as strongly was the outpouring of comments he got in reply. Most of them were vigorously in favor. Some of them weren't, though there was even one man who specifically stated that while he disagreed with Wil, he wanted a rational discourse on the topic. And I have to respect that. And in yet another comment in that thread, I noticed a poster with a little link about one person's analysis of what the Bible has to say about homosexuality. A very thought-provoking read, and worth checking out no matter what side of this issue you're on. Ergo, I wanted to share it around.

I loved the analysis! The others I have seen have been sarcastic (not that that's always a bad thing LOL), but this is something I could share with a xtian I liked....
Thanks!

You're quite welcome. I hope it does some good!

Thanks for the pointer to real life preacher. I've blogged about those two posts of his, and I think that they should be mandated to be read from the pulpit in every mainstream U.S. Christian church.

You're most welcome, and I agree with you!
