Twinkies weren’t to blame

Redd Braden posted the following movie preview on his excellent Homosecular Gaytheist blog. It’s another reminder to those of us in the minority here in the U.S. that religously inspired hate can kill.

The assassination of Harvey Milk was no less an act of terrorism and political murder than the killings of Martin Luther King or Bobby Kennedy. A mentally unstable individual motivated by inner demons and the warped attitudes instilled by religious belief took the life of an man who committed no crime, who was guilty only of being different.

I plan on watching this movie. I hope a lot of people see this movie. Americans need to be reminded that religious ignorance isn’t just sad, it’s a threat to those who dare to think for themselves and live openly as who they are.
