An Open Letter to Melissa Etheridge [a guest post]
Dear Melissa Etheridge,
It seemed like good news that you had met with Pastor Rick Warren to confront him on his homophobic disinformation campaign. It makes sense that many thoughtful, open-minded people are thinking that your meeting with Warren made for a good, productive meeting of the minds. Many of these same people worked VERY HARD to get Mr. Obama elected, so the idea of him CHOOSING an openly homophobic anti-Semite like Warren to give "the blessing" at his inauguration to set the spiritual tone of his presidency is a very difficult thing to wrap our minds around. Our feeling of betrayal is appropriate.
To be honest Melissa I have no idea how much experience you have with Fundamentalist Christians, but they're called FUNDAMENTALIST for a reason. When you say you are interested in peace I don't doubt you for a minute. But when you say we should volunteer to be more visible it's nothing but weird to me. Your direct quote is, "Maybe if they get to know us, they won't fear us." But we queers don't grow on trees on a faraway island. Fundamentalist Christians deal with us all the time because we live in their towns. They gave birth to us, we are in their families, and we don't need to visit because we're already there. They know us and we know them, quite well.
