From: Interfaith Working Group Subject: IWG Denver Post ex-gay/Religious Liberty letter Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1998 23:54:03 -0400 (EDT) September 7, 1998 The Denver Post 650 15th Street Denver, CO 80202 Dear Editors: The whole ex-gay ad campaign, in its attempt to focus on whether sexual orientation can be changed, completely misses a very important point: Religion is a matter of choice; people change their religions, and there are lifestyle choices associated with particular religions. The Center for Reclaiming America and the Christian Coalition aren't proposing that religious choices shouldn't be legally protected. Or are they? Those groups have consistently pushed for policies that favor only those who have made religious choices they agree with. Sincerely, Barbara Purdom Christopher Purdom Interfaith Working Group Coordinators -- Interfaith Working Group Religious organizations, congregations iwg@libertynet.org and clergy supporting gay rights, http://www.libertynet.org/iwg/ reproductive freedom, and the 215-235-3050 separation of church and state.
