Believe out loud makes it debut

Peter Laarman writes at Religion Dispatches:

The conventional wisdom that links American Christianity and homophobia misses the large and growing number of Christians who are committed to building an inclusive church and an equal society. The trouble is that the pro-gay Christians haven't had all the tools and resources needed to spread their message and build their movement. And they've worked in some degree of isolation from one another, within denominational silos and without much common issue framing.

A bold new campaign aims to change that. Believe Out Loud is a sophisticated social marketing effort, anchored by a rich new web portal and with powerful messaging lines, that will be launched nationally today — on Valentine's Day. The campaign will also offer on-the-ground organizing support to existing advocacy groups both inside and outside of denominational lines.
