Who Are the Gay Evangelicals?
At The New York Times, Molly Worthen writes on several gay evangelicals and their experience with Christianity’s changing view on homosexuality. “The anti-gay ideology that has long held sway in American evangelicalism seems to be crumbling,” Worthen writes. “Conservatives’ insistence that the Bible proscribes homosexual acts and their claim that protecting gay rights infringes on their own religious liberty have depended on another assumption not found in Scripture: that homosexuality is not a biologically rooted identity but a sinful temptation, an addiction that one must control.”
