Agreed. My issue is that the gay community has become bedfellows with leaders of faith to take up our cause and I personally don't see how that does anything to eradicate the very thing that preaches our demise. I find it nothing more than self-hatred. If the studies show the less religion the more gay accepting then there's something to be said for addressing religion not asking for support of preachers who might shelf one of the tenents of their faith to support you. It becomes nothing more than a revolving door.
