Monday's Colbert Report featured "red letter Christian" Tony Campolo, who penned Red Letter Christians: A Citizen's Guide to Faith and Politics. Campolo's book represents a break in the Christian political movement, one which has for so long exploited Biblical misreadings to crusade against the queers.
Campolo disagrees with this backward bigots, saying marriage is in trouble because of straight divorces, not because of gays. He also believes gays should get stoned – as in high on the reefer.
We like the way this guy thinks.

I'm shocked.
Give the guy the Nobel Peace Prize already.
Wanna read more of what he writes ? Read what he and his wife wrote about Provincetown in 1996:
"Then, twenty years ago, my husband and I went to Provincetown, Massachusetts to go whale watching. We'd been warned that the charming village on the tip of Cape Cod was a mecca for lesbians and gays. I expected to ignore that, enjoy the whales and go home. But I fell in love with PTown and the people I met there changed my life. As a straight couple, Tony and I are usually in the minority when we visit the art galleries, shops and restaurants of Provincetown. But there's an acceptance there that makes me feel special. Both of us feel special and not weird. And when I consider that the people I meet there, especially the couples, would not be accepted in most of the places I come from, I feel a sense of sadness and of shame. On our first visit there I remember saying to Tony, what I feel here is something of what I've always imagined the church should be like and isn't. To be real about it, we who walk the streets of Provincetown don't even know each other and we certainly don't all love each other, but what I feel there makes me aware of the aching void there is in most places on this Earth where people do not accept each other, nor are they kind.

Don't get your panties all wet,gaydom….he hasn't said anything new or radical from that book of contradictions,harsh laws myth, morals, inspiration, etc.
Christians have always known the verse "love thy neighbour.. yet they are famous for turning a blind eye to that and many other beneficial verses. The fact is Judaism/Christianity is the reason the world has suffered such harsh homophobia to this day and they think they are innocent!??! To hear "christians" sofet peddling or rethinking their beliefs is obnoxoius to me. It's like a murderer saying, hmmm… maybe my murdering IS wrong. If one claims to know the perfect God of the universe, then they cannot allow for mistakes/sins since God guides them, right ? Wrong. Religion is responsible for so many horrible evils, period. I say bring on the lions.
sorry Nikko, but you are holding a rediculous grudge, and only poisoning yourself. If you think that ALL christians are responsible for every rotten thing in history, than you should also believe that all members of the secular world are responsible for all injustices that have ever happened in society.
Don't forget that religion has done good things as well as bad. Believe that.
