    An opportunity?

    Responding to Don's "we should let neither the screeching greedmongers of the right, nor the gay activists of the left prevent that": Why do we need to equate 'screeching greedmongers' with gay activists? Are those fighting for the rights of gays and lesbians to love, to marry, to avoid discrimination, really equivalent to 'screeching greedmongers' (a wonderful phrase, by the way)? Most of the gay activists I know are far more Christian than I am (which doesn't take much), and many are committed to finding ways to be recogized by their churches, and have their unions blessed. Does that push them outside the bounds of this 'opportunity' to find common ground between liberals and evangelicals?
