“I refuse to limit my God, to lock God into my cultural understandings because culture is fickle,” Wright said. “And culture is often wrong. Culture was wrong about slavery. Culture was wrong about women. Culture was wrong about Africans and Indians, and culture was wrong about Christ,” he said. “I have been the pariah among many of my clergy colleagues who somehow see me as defective or not quite saved because I won’t join them in their homophobic gay bashing and misquoting of scripture.”

I really, really like this. Thanks for showing me the article. But what I want to know, with all the agy events he's been attending, why did he have so much trouble coming up with the answer to that question in the Advocate? We KNOW that he's bloody great at framing, for heavens sake. Why is he not framing this as an "we're all americans, equal rights for all" type deal? he can do MUCh better than this. And I am pissed.
