The RPLP hosted Amy Stone, an associate professor of sociology and anthropology at Trinity University, for a series of conversations about her insights on religion and same-sex marriage. Using a broad historical context as her framework, Stone discussed changes in the ways different groups have framed arguments for and against same-sex ballot measures. The religious right, for example, has transitioned from an emphasis on pedophilia and explicitly religious rationales for rejecting same-sex marriage to greater focus on risks to health and families. LGBT activists, meanwhile, have found the public more receptive to the language of love and commitment than to rights-oriented rhetoric, and have changed their framing accordingly. With respect to religion, while some LGBT activists welcome the support of sympathetic ministers, others “want nothing to do with religion.” Overall, Stone’s research indicates that the use of religious rhetoric by the LGBT movement is increasing as conservatives downplay religious language.In their public discourse and in an attempt to gain the moral high ground, both the LGBT movement and the religious right compete for embattled minority status. Along these lines, the religious right regularly invokes examples of employees who are fired for anti-gay comments and creates documentaries like “Speechless: Silencing the Christians.” LGBT activists counter by drawing parallels between their objectives and those of previous civil rights movements.

My variegated rose bush has just exploded the past few days. Not all are the same color, and it is beautiful.
Strolled right across the front of our car towards the other elephant that had stood and waited for her.
...Different camera. Sigma DP2M, iso 100. Very minimally processed. Biggest change from out of camera image is the square format crop, along with some shadow detail reduction to make it a bit more contrasty.
