Okay people, I do not like asking for money even when it's not for me, but...
...based off my previous post about the congregation that encouraged a toddler to sing homophobic "hymns" during services, I am issuing a call to arms. Or rather, to wallets.
That "church" is located in Greensburg, Indiana. You know who else lived in Greensburg? A young man named Billy Lucas.
Billy Lucas may or may not have been gay, but he was bullied with gay epithets, among others, to the point where he took his own life. It was his suicide along with a rash of others (Asher Brown, Tyler Clementi, too many to list) that inspired Dan Savage and his husband to create the It Gets Better project.
So, my friends.
If you have a spare five bucks on your credit card, or more, it doesn't matter, please take a minute today and donate to Indiana Equality.
On the form, put in memory of Billy Lucas.
Put in honor of Pastor Jeff Sangl and his email address pastorsangl@apostolictruthtabernacle.net , and include the address of the "church" so they get notified by mail:
Apostolic Truth Tabernacle
1114 W. Westridge Pkwy.
Greensburg, IN 47240
I didn't come up with the idea, a commenter on Joe.My.God did, but it bears merit.
And please boost the signal.
