In reply to the discussion: More than 100 religious leaders in Tennessee take a stand against slate of anti-LGBT legislation [View all]MineralMan
(148,024 posts)They will fail because so many other "religious leaders" are in the anti-LGBTQ camp. Think powers of 10 more.
That's why I asked if you had been to Tennessee or are familiar with that state in some way. Of course, you never answered that question. Tennessee is part of the Bible Belt, and is dominated by evangelical and fundamentalist churches. All of those support treating LGBTQ people as second class citizens at best.
Once again, religionnews.com is not a reliable source of actual news. It is a heavily biased source of stories, from which you select some of the least reliable ones. Then, you post minor excerpts from those stories here and expect people to congratulate you.
There is no "perfect" in your story. It is a story about a tiny minority of religious leaders taking a position that is not held by most people in that state. Even that tiny minority is not "perfect." It's not good news, really, if you look at actual numbers of people in TN. As you will see, if you continue to follow this issue, their efforts will produce no good effect on the TN legislature, which doesn't care what those preachers say.
The only preferred narrative is the truth. Only armed with the truth can people make change.
