Calling The Christianist Bluff

In another smart move, a Colorado Democrat is proposing a streamlined way to ensure that gay couples denied the right to marry (or straight choosing not to) can

designate each other as emergency decision makers, ensure that property goes to their partners if they die and list each other as health insurance beneficiaries.

Even evangelicals like Joe Carter would support this, right? And Christianists insist they are not anti-gay and do not want to hurt anyone. So why not? And, on cue, a Christianist Republican who once supported the exact same legislation when he was opposing marriage equality now opposes it. Why? It’s a threat to marriage!
