What I believe…

Andrew Sullivan recently gave a speech at Princeton University on the topic of natural law and civil rights. I hope he posts it soon! But in the meantime, he did post this short excerpt from the Q&A where he describes why he believes, as a Catholic, that he can authentically and appropriately — and in Catholic terms — support LBGT civil rights. I agree with what he says here, and think he makes his points eloquently and thoughtfully.

Andrews' blog is also worth reading for how it's following the Uganda situation (there is a proposal to make being gay an executable crime in Uganda, and US Christianists have been supporting it). This report of the vivid gay rights movement in Uganda is very much worth reading. UPDATE: Andrew has posted the entire speech at his blog.
