Jonathan Goldberg's article places a lot of emphasis on religion, using Aan Bray's book. What was interesting in this article is the mix of politics, religion, and sexuality. Bray's book discusses the last events of a man's life before he was murderered then accused of being gay. The article touches on the relationship between Christianity and homosexuality. The greatest accusation the man faced was being called a homosexual, which instantly turned into a case of libel
What makes the statement that someone is homosexual an instantly slanderous statement. What about homosexuality can ruin a person's reputation? The article shows how homophobic society is, esspecially in religion.
For example, in Denver during the Martin Luther King parade, many gay and lesbian rights activists march for their rights as well. But, if you think about it Dr. King, an extremely faithful Christian, would probably not have supported the homosexual agenda, based strictly on his religous beliefs.
Will there ever be a point in which religion will accept homosexuality into their society?
