I'd be willing to bet that there will be spittle flying in Chrisofascist and professional Christian circles when they realize that Bruce Springsteen - hardly an example of the "effete liberal" that folks like Tony Perkins and Pat Robertson like to malign - is endorsing marriage equality for same sex couples. USA Today looks at the Boss's efforts to aid the cause of marriage equality in states where the forces of hate and bigotry are seeking to inflict their toxic religious beliefs on all citizens. Here are highlights:
An Internet-based campaign aimed at passing same-sex marriage initiatives in four states is getting a little help today from Bruce Springsteen.
The rocker's picture and a quote in support of marriage equality is featured in new content by The Four 2012, a social media campaign aimed at young people who live on sites such as Facebook and Twitter. The goal is to pass ballot measures in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington that are on the November ballot.
"The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is -- a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law," Springsteen says on The Four 2012's "image macro."
