[Editorial]
I remember when everything was closed on Sunday… only essential businesses could be open. Liquor stores closed at 8. Back in the 1960s, nationwide church membership had grown to 63.3% of the U.S. population, but now only 20% of Americans attend church weekly! Of those only evangelical Christians constitute about 10% of U.S. adults.
Police raided bars looking for “deviant.” It wasn’t safe on the streets for us, you could be wacked in the head by a police billy club and end up in the patty wagon and you name all over the news. That is what they want to go back to… when a marriage was between “a man and a woman.” And we had to have at least three items of male clothing on.
They say that they want "Religious Freedom" but what they really want to do is impose their religious beliefs on us,
They want to control our bodies… on abortion.
They want to control our bodies… in who we love.
They want to control our bodies… in our gender.
They want to control our bodies… in what we read.
They want to control our bodies… in what we say.
My body… my choice!
My body… my choice!
My body… my choice!
The time to sit it is over. It is time for action! Talk to your legislators! Write letters-to-the-editors! When you hear mean, intervene. Have you worked for a candidate? Have you donated to a legal organizations that are fighting our battles in court?
I have read Pastor Martin Niemöller"s poem and know we are only the first!
