This month's topic: LGBT Politics and Religion
Who says politics and religion don't go well together? Well, a lot of
people do. Even in the Constitution,
it's written that church and state
should remain separate. Still, they continue to intersect on a daily
basis. For instance, some people oppose legalizing gay marriage because
they see it as going against the Bible (and oaths of office often
include the words "under G-d"). On a more local level, several
pieces of legislation relating to LGBT rights--such as the Equality and
Non-Discrimination Act, the Gender Expression Non-Discrimination Act,
and a
bill about banning reparative therapy--are likely to be debated
in Albany next year. Come get ready for New York's political transition in 2014 and
let your
opinions be heard!
