I use the terms "Christianist" or "homophobic Christianist" to refer to the Christian extremists who use their religion to support discrimination and bigotry.
But after last Wed. when thousands and thousands decided to line up and pay a billionaire the chance to flip LGBT the bird, I'm wondering if my criticism has been a little too narrow.
Not only did the Christianists come out, and their redneck bullies, but most Americans, most Christian Americans and most Christian denominations and organizations who didn't participate remained silent.
It was very scary. I'm left wondering who would actually stand up for people like me if the Christianists decided to come after us with pitchforks.
