I am dealing with a guy and I just want to shut him down at this point.  I always thought this did a rather good job of summing it up. I kind of like how 'Republican Jesus' is also a white guy with seemingly blonde hair.

I've got a question for the Americans or Brits in the audience. Up here in Canada, one of the biggest lobbying groups for gay and trans rights is one of our largest churches; the United Church of Canada. I feel their support has been a great boon for LBGT Canadians, often taking the wind out of the sails of much smaller and more bigoted churches who would claim it's against God's will. They've had a reputation for quite some time as a church that promotes volunteerism and helping the poor and disadvantaged, and showing compassion to all- gasp, almost Christ Like! But that's really neither here nor there. Here's my deal; Are there any equivalent groups in America? So much of gay rights seems wrapped up in the discussion about what the bible has to say on it, and religious rights- what's to stop some particularly left leaning church from claiming they wish to marry same-sex couples (Like the United Church of Canada) and totally destroying the last argumentative bastion (RELIGIOUS RIGHTS!) that conservatives seem to have?
