X-rated sex columnist and creator of the “It Gets Better” campaign Dan Savage has launched a new campaign featuring a website where self-professed Christians can upload videos of themselves expressing their support for homosexuality.
Savage says that the name for the campaign – Not All Like That (NALT) – was inspired by the many Christians who would come up to him after his speeches around the country and assure him, “We’re not all like that. We don’t all hate and condemn gay people.”
In a video announcing the new campaign, Savage says that he wants to give a platform for such “NALT” Christians to counter the message of “anti-gay bigots” like Tony Perkins (Family Research Council), Pat Robertson (Christian Broadcasting Network) and Brian Brown (National Organization for Marriage).
He is encouraging “NALTs” to create videos of themselves expressing support for “LGBT civil rights” and to upload them to the NALT website, telling them that if they don’t speak up their silence will do damage to homosexuals and to “Christianity itself.”
So far the site, which was launched late last month, features some 50 videos.
Pro-family Christian leaders have expressed doubts about the extent of Savage’s concern for Christianity.
“It’s so odd that this campaign is coming from gay atheists,” Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH) told LifeSiteNews.com. “For Dan Savage to be the arbiter of what is Christian love has to be one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard.”
