Jay Bakker's Quiet Revolution
Tonight, the Sundance Channel debuts "One Punk Under God," a documentary series that follows Jay Bakker, the son of Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker. Since his parents' PTL ministry collapsed in the late '80s, Bakker hit the bottle, got a ton of tattoos, sobered up, rediscovered God, and became a preacher. He's now spreading the word from a Brooklyn storefront, but it's a distinctly different message from the one we're used to hearing from megachurches and televangelists. I recently talked to Bakker about his philosophy, his decision to become a "gay-affirming" church, and what tricks of the trade he picked up from his parents. Check it out here.

As a gay black woman; I can say that I most definately prefer racist, misygonist, homophobic Christianity to this kind.
This sort of Christian pretends to be "gay affirmative", "pro-feminist", and "for minority sovereignty"; and yet they draw their inspiration from a book that spits in the face of all of those. It's completely illogical. These people seek to have their cake and eat it too, which in this case just isn't possible.
Either you support the discriminative stance of the Bible or you support freedom from a God that condones the repression of political minorites.
