A number of responses to CatholicVote.Org's video, "Not Alone," have popped up in recent weeks. However, almost all of those responses have been satirical or humorous. This new response is a more serious one, and it's excellent. It explains why discrimination is wrong even when it's (wrongly) justified by faith, and it's called #TruthTrending. Check it out.
If you missed it, here is the original video:
From Towleroad:
From the video’s description:
TruthTrending uses the truth about the laws that we all live by that remind viewers that religious protections are already in place and not threatened or oppressed when equality spreads wider to include more people. Our United States Constitution is the law we all live by regardless of faith and asserts the protections and equality in treatment for all Americans. This is why the gentle and respectful reminder to viewers that meaningful discussions and debates can continue but all should be able to come to the table equally protected and not at a disadvantage because they don’t share the same faith.
The video features Prop 8 plaintiffs Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo, Lance Bass, Ronnie Kroell, Rev. Susan Russell, Bridegroom‘s Shane Bitney Crone, and YouTube duo Bria and Chrissy.
