Organizational Purpose: To educate, support and mobilize California’s faith communities around a variety of equality issues as they relate to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community, including marriage equality, FAIR education, employment discrimination and healthcare.  CFE is in the process of becoming an operating unit of California Faith Action (CFA).

Overview

The Managing Director will oversee the operations and programs of California Faith for Equality (CFE), which has operated since 2006, first under the auspices of other organizations and then as a stand alone nonprofit.  CFE is in the midst of a merger of operations with California Faith Action, a new state-wide multi-faith 501(c)(3) organization which provides leadership, education and mobilization to leaders of various faith traditions around a variety of progressive issues in California, including governmental reform.

2. Publicize the activities/programs of CFE in conjunction with PR/Media staff/volunteers, and in concert with the PR and media activities of CFA.

3. Establish sound working relationships and cooperative arrangements with relevant LGBT and religiously affiliated local, statewide and national groups and organizations.

4. Represent the programs and point of view of CFE to agencies, organizations, and the general public.

5. Maintain the CFE website (Content Management System) and database (Constituent Relationship Management) system, as well as social media exposure.

In relations with staff, the Managing Director will:

1. Be responsible for the recruitment, employment, and (if necessary) release of all personnel, both paid staff and volunteers.

It was the week for studies telling us things we already knew.

No sooner had I finished reading and then blogging about the psychological study linking homophobia to repressed same-sex attractions than GLAAD released “Missing Voices,” a study finding that LGBT faith voices were underrepresented in the mainstream media. Yes, another study destined for the file folder labeled “Duh!”, confirming what we have long suspected, known, and experienced — and also another opportunity to blog, about not just what the study says but why it matters.

Here’s what the data tell us:

Three out of four religious messages came from people whose religions have formal policies opposing LGBT equality, despite the fact that acceptance of LGBT people is growing across faith traditions.

The news media is largely omitting a pro-LGBT religious perspective and ignoring individuals who identify as both LGBT and religious, particularly those who identify as Christian. As a result of this framing, it is likely that media consumers have distorted views of the relationship between LGBT people and religion and follow a false “gay vs. religion” frame.

Said Ross Murray, director of the Religion, Faith & Values Program at GLAAD: “By elevating select anti-LGBT voices the media is falsely representing views of entire religious groups and contributing to a climate that isolates LGBT youth and adults from their faith, a false dichotomy that no one should have to make.”

In short, the data tell us that our missing voices matter.

Our missing voices matter because the traditional Biblical values we proclaim — justice, love, and compassion — offer an antidote to the judgment, literalism, and condemnation of the religious right. Our missing voices matter because there are legions of folks out there yearning for a spiritual community and thinking they know enough about being a Christian not to want to be one. And who can blame them when everything they know about what Jesus taught is what Jerry Falwell said or Pat Robertson preached.

When I wrote my open letter to the “purpose driven” [sic] pastor, it got over 700 comments, many of them from people expressing amazement that there are Christians who support LGBT equality, economic justice, and contraceptive freedom. Our voices matter, because when we let Rick Warren speak for Christianity, we let Jesus down.

Our missing voices matter because there are LGBT youth growing up with no clue that there’s a God who loves them just the way they are, and that there are communities of faith that would support and encourage them as they grow into the full stature of their gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender adulthood. As my friend Bishop Gene Robinson said, “These are kids who couldn’t find Leviticus if their life depended on it, and they end up suicidal because they’re convinced God thinks they’re an abomination.” Our missing voices matter because no child should ever believe he or she is beyond God’s love, and our voices offer a lifeline to kids who think their precious lives aren’t worth living.

Our missing voices matter because in town halls, state houses, and the halls of Congress, legislators are lobbied by those determined to write their theology into our democracy. Our voices matter because in order for the First Amendment to protect our freedom of religion, it must also protect our freedom from religion, and the best rebuttal to the rabid religious right is a mobilized messaged religious left.

Yes, our missing voices matter. We already knew that. What matters most about the data in this week’s GLAAD study, then, is that it gives us is the leverage we need to change that.

If information is power, then this information gives us the power to challenge media outlets to balance their reporting; to cultivate diverse religious voices; and to include our voices in the public discourse on LGBT equality. It also challenges progressive people of faith to stand up and speak out, by email, blog comments, Twitter, and even telephone, if necessary, and to “believe out loud” in order to be the change we want to see in the world.

It says in John 8:32 that “the truth will set you free,” and the truth is that there are scores of faithful voices ready, willing, and able to offer an alternative to the homophobic rhetoric that has too often hijacked the Good News of God’s inclusive love. The truth is that what we proclaim are family values that value all families, and that what we propose is a protect-marriage movement that protects all marriages. And the truth is we can be the change we want to see.

Our missing voices matter. Let’s make some noise, people!

As someone who identifies as gay and Christian, I see parts of myself reflected in the world around me. When I turn on the television, I get caught up in the drama of gay and lesbian students on ‘Glee.’ I can laugh with a gay couple raising a child and trying to relate to the rest of their relatives on ‘Modern Family.’ I can cheer on a Chaz Bono, the first transgender man to ‘dance with the stars.’

When I sat in Easter worship this last Sunday, I was surrounded by many lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people, as well as supportive and affirming straight people. I heard an Easter sermon that acknowledged my existence and affirmed my faith in the Easter message.

However, I still long for the day that those two realities, my representation in the media and the affirmation from my faith, would become one reality. My desire to hear an affirming message of faith being broadcast over television or printed in a newspaper grows stronger as I see both increasing representation in the media and growing affirmation in religious communities. And I am not alone. Thousands of us want to see the LGBT-affirming voices of faith lifted up in the mainstream media. But so far, the media has done little to reflect the new religious reality in America.

In recent years, several denominations, such as the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, The Episcopal Church, and the Presbyterian Church (USA) have updated policies to be more inclusive of gay and lesbian people. Beyond policy change, a majority of Mainline Protestants support equality for gay and lesbian people when it comes to non-discrimination, marriage, and adoption. Jewish people are the most supportive of any religious group in the United States, now at 81%. And the vast majority of pew-sitting Roman Catholics are highly supportive of marriage equality and adoption for gay and lesbian couples, despite the messages from Roman Catholic hierarchy. In fact, the organization Catholics in Media Associates, an organization of Catholic media professionals, recently gave an award to the ABC comedy Modern Family, which features a gay couple raising an adopted child together.

With all this support among religious people, why don’t Americans get to hear LGBT-affirming messages from some of them? They are crowded out by the same extreme voices over and over again. The voices who claim to represent the religious viewpoint on LGBT people, especially Christianity, are the voice and faces that we see have seen for years on news television – local, national and especially cable.

According to a recent survey by the Knight Program in Media and Religion at USC and the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron, journalists, producers and bookers are far from experts when it comes to religion, which makes them return to the same voices that they have used for so long. They tune to “Christian” television to find what the “Christian” viewpoint is on LGBT people. Anti-LGBT groups use their PR operations and sell spokespeople as representative of the religious voice – when in reality they speak for a very narrow viewpoint that is becoming progressively narrower within religious circles. Add in the fact that the media suffers from a conflict addiction and tends to put stories about gay and transgender people in terms of controversy, and we have a recipe for only extreme religious voices being given platforms in the media to reach millions of Americans.

GLAAD has long recognized the lack of faithful affirming voices in the media among the sea of anti-LGBT rhetoric. We commissioned an independent study by the University of Missouri Center on Religion & the Professions entitled, ‘Missing Voices: A study of religious voices in mainstream media reports about LGBT equality‘. The study analyzes religious voices and their message messages in national news outlets when covering gay and transgender equality.

The findings confirm that despite growing public support for LGBT people across faith traditions, the media highlight a disproportionate number of anti-LGBT religious voices in the media. Three out of four religious messages about gay or transgender people come from religious groups that have formal policies, decrees, or culture opposing equality. Unsurprisingly, messages from those sources were overwhelmingly negative. Mainstream media uses far fewer voices from the gay-affirming, or even moderate, religious traditions. The vast majority of gay or pro-LGBT sources are presented without any religious affiliation whatsoever.

We have, for example, Tony Perkins, the head of the Family Research Council. Mr. Perkins has been featured in GLAAD’s Commentator Accountability Project, which educates the media and the public on the extreme beliefs and messages held by anti-LGBT activists. Perkins has called gay people “pawns of the enemy” and wrote that the anti-bullying “It Gets Better Project” is “immoral,” “disgusting,” and promotes “perversion.” These statements don’t happen when Perkins appears on MSNBC or in the Associated Press, but do happen regularly on FRC’s own site. Perkins uses his Christian identity as a cover for his harmful message.

At the same time, where is the voice of Matthew Vines, a young Christian theologian who uses Jesus’ test for teaching that “you will know them by their fruit” and finding that teachings like Mr. Perkins only leads to despair, and self-destruction for those who have followed it? Where is James Alexander Langteaux, the former 700 Club producer who discovered that “the truth shall set you free” and was freed from the closet that he lived in for so many years? Where is the Rev. Jacqueline Lewis, who leads a vibrant, caring Christian community that welcomes all people and continues to grow? These are the missing voices of faith.

The media needs to stop promoting the false notion that being religious is synonymous with being anti-LGBT. By contrasting anti-LGBT religious voices against pro-LGBT voices with no identified religion, the media has reinforced a misleading and dangerous ‘religion versus gay’ frame. This frame is misleading because it gives media consumers the false impression that to be religious, particularly Christian, is to be inherently anti-LGBT. Experiences like the one I had in Easter worship are not reflected in the media. The frame ignores religious people who increasingly support equality and discounts the thousands upon thousands of LGBT people like me whose faith play central roles in our lives.

The media has a responsibility to be fair and accurate in how religious voices are represented in our public discussion on equality. Journalists often cite a need for balance, and the time has come to balance with LGBT-affirming religious voices who have been silenced for too long. Disproportionately favoring the negative message from anti-LGBT voices is neither fair, nor accurate, nor balanced coverage.

Groundswell, a social action initiative of Auburn Seminary, will launch the Groundswell of Courage campaign, a multifaith, national, grassroots campaign that supports full LGBTQ equality and dignity this Saturday, April 14th, 2012, in North Carolina, just 24 days before North Carolina’s May 8 ballot initiative that would change the state constitution and ban same-sex marriage and legal recognition for North Carolina’s LGBTQ couples.

The campaign is inspired by the Sundance award-winning film Love Free or Die, which profiles Bishop Gene Robinson, the first openly gay Episcopal Bishop. The Groundswell of Courage is modeled after the “Great Schlep,” a highly successful campaign that encouraged young Jewish Americans to have one-on-one conversations with their elders about supporting President Barack Obama in 2008. The Groundswell of Courage kicks off with a film screening of Love Free or Die at the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival at the 1000-seat Carolina Theatre on April 14, 2012, at 4:40 p.m. During the launch weekend, Groundswell will host events and film screenings in Charlotte, Durham, Elon, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem.

“I am so inspired to see Love Free or Die be put to good use in changing the hearts and minds of conflicted Christians and other people of faith,” said Macky Alston, Director of Love Free or Die. “For me, growing up gay in a community of faith that rejected me at first, but came to accept and love me for who I was is in many ways the story of my life. Now, I have a husband and two children thanks to the courageous leadership of faith leaders like Bishop Gene Robinson, bold politicians, and a groundswell of grassroots support for LGBTQ equality. Still, in 44 states, marriage is illegal for same-sex couples, and in 32 states, there are significant legal obstacles to adoption by same sex parents or gay people. Not to mention the fact that there are so many others like me who have yet to have the full love of their own faith communities. Hopefully, this film and this campaign can help change all that.”

Groundswell’s national campaign focuses on the seven states likely to hold ballot initiatives concerning LGBTQ equality in 2012: California, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina, Ohio, and Washington.

Through screenings of Love Free or Die, as well as Groundswell speaking engagements, the Groundswell of Courage invites faith communities and college and seminary student groups to form their own local Groundswells. Local Groundswell groups invent their own ways to fulfill the “Each One, Move One” pledge to stand for dignity and equality in 2012 and beyond, host screenings of Love Free or Die, and intersect with the goals of other Groundswell campaigns. Groundswell will connect individuals who would like to fulfill the pledge with nearby Groundswell groups.

“Religion has long been used to justify the oppression and dehumanization of LGBTQ people: in homes, in houses of worship, in voting booths. Indeed, some people of faith will likely vote against the full equality and dignity of LGBTQ people because of their religious convictions during the 2012 election cycle,” said Valarie Kaur, Groundswell Director. “We are here to change that. Today, a groundswell of people is emerging from the shadows of silence to stand for the full dignity and equality of all, no matter who they are or who they love. They are helping their conflicted loved ones to change their hearts and minds – in this election cycle and beyond.”

THE EACH ONE, MOVE ONE PLEDGE”I pledge to reach out to a friend or family member who is conflicted about supporting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people because of his or her religious convictions. I pledge to engage that loved one with my story of courage, sharing why I believe it is important for all of us to open our hearts and minds to the inherent dignity of all people.” For more information on the pledge, click here.

ABOUT THE FILM: Love Free or Die, directed by Macky Alston and produced by Sandra Itkoff, is about openly gay bishop Gene Robinson, whose courageous story inspired bishops, priests and ordinary folk to recognize the humanity of someone who happened to be LGBTQ and change history. For more information, see www.lovefreeordiemovie.com .

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Macky Alston, documentary filmmaker, most recently directed Love Free or Die, a feature film about openly gay bishop Gene Robinson and the international firestorm his consecration sparked, which premiered and won the Special Jury Prize for an Agent of Change at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival.

Alston’s first film, Family Name premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 1997 where it won the Freedom of Expression Award and later aired on PBS’ POV. Since then he has directed Questioning Faith (premiered Full Frame & Hot Docs International Film Festivals, aired HBO/Cinemax 2002), The Killer Within (premiered Toronto International Film Festival 2006, aired Discovery Times 2007), and Hard Road Home (premiered South by Southwest 2007, aired PBS’ Independent Lens 2008).

Alston is a partner with Sandra Itkoff and Christopher White in Reveal Productions. His awards include the Gotham Open Palm Award and Emmy nominations for three of his films, and he has appeared in press around the world, including The Oprah Winfrey Show, The Today Show, and The New York Times.

National Map #03 (Ned Flaherty, 16-Feb-2012)

A footnote on the last page of the Ninth Circuit’s opinion holding Prop 8 unconstitutional says: “The stay pending appeal issued by this court on August 16, 2010 remains in effect pending issuance of the mandate.”

That means same-sex couples cannot yet get married in California — and probably will not be able to in the coming weeks.

Under the controlling court rules, Proposition 8′s Proponents have 14 days to petition for rehearing (i.e., until Feb 21). Mandate issues seven days after the deadline for filing a rehearing petition if no such petition is filed (i.e., on Feb. 28).

If the Proponents do file a timely petition for rehearing, mandate will not issue until after the Court acts upon the rehearing petition. It typically issues 7 days after the denial of such a petition. If rehearing is granted, mandate won’t issue until after the Court rehears the case and issues a new opinion.

Even if Proposition 8′s Proponents choose not to petition for rehearing, they can be expected to file a motion for the stay of mandate to continue while they seek Supreme Court review. Were the Ninth Circuit to deny such a stay, they’d ask the Supreme Court to issue one.

So writes Jay Michaelson in his new bestselling book “God vs. Gay? The Religious Case for Equality” (Beacon), which Publisher’s Weekly called “a salvo in the case for equality,” and which recently hit #1 in gay/lesbian nonfiction on Amazon.com.

Beth Chayim Chadashim, Nehirim, Ikar, California Faith for Equality, Temple Beth Am, Shtibl Minyan, the Forward, the Institute for Judaism and Sexual Orientation, and Beacon Press are proud to bring Jay Michaelson for an evening of learning and conversation on how we as LGBT Jews and allies enrich the Jewish people with our differences, and how we can have productive conversations with those still struggling with issues of religion and sexuality.

In this text-based and no-holds-barred conversation, Michaelson will discuss his own personal journey of acceptance and affirmation, and how the overwhelming majority of our religious values support inclusion of LGBT people. Plenty of time will be allowed for questions and conversation, and a reception will be held afterward.
