By their being exempt from paying taxes, religious institutions who work against equal rights are not only doing so with their followers' money, but with our money as well. <br /><br />Why should tax payers take up the monetary slack for religious institutions, and even for their hateful and discriminatory rhetoric and actions against others? <br /><br />All LGBT activists must aggressively advocate for removing tax-exemptions from all religious institutions as one way of declawing the dragon that has done so much to cause untold suffering to assorted minority groups, such as women, African Americans, and LGBT people.<br /><br />Best wishes, Jerry.Jerry Manekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748201321055468172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688218899576616463.post-89730138535809442502009-10-14T13:49:33.109-07:002009-10-14T13:49:33.109-07:00Lay into that tax exemption, Jerry! That's on...Lay into that tax exemption, Jerry! That's one of the sources, if not the main source of fundamentalists' political power. If Gay activists aren't willing to call, repeatedly and often, for the end of religious tax exemptions, then they aren't serious about fighting bigotry and marginalization. We should be about taxing this unfair weapon away from our enemies.DC HAMPTON JACOBShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884630801131861786noreply@blogger.com
