Re: RAT Re: Christian Right and Gay Rights

Yes, this is the RAT list where some theatre people have felt like talking 
about not necessicarily theatre specific topics for the past few days which 
has historically lead to postings like yours with regular frequency.  Stick 
around, we'll talk about theatre too.  The best thing to do is ignore stuff 
that annoys you and post a question or statement about theatre (i'd say don't 
say "why aren't we talking about theatre" because then we'll start talking 
about "why aren't we talking about theatre"  and the first ammendment and not 
theatre itself.  just go straight to introducing a specific theatrical 
quesiton or anecdote or what have you).

 political bantering about homophobia and the Christian Right.  I'm a queer 
 activist, a community activist but shouldn't this list be for building 
 coaltions for theater practitioners so that we may bring these issues to the 
 stage? Maybe we should be networking on ways to do this rather than you're 
 evil and I'm good pedantics.
