Courage of convictions. This is one of the most important courages out there, cited more often than almost any other courage. So it came as quite a pleasant surprise when World Vision, one of the largest faith-based, pro-Jesus global charities on the planet, announced that they would hire legally married gay couples.
That was a bizarre piece on NPR. The reporter was all like,"whew, they lost some donations, but they were able to reverse course to keep the sweet honey flowing, so no harm done."
World Vision would be better off without the haters -- they really don't want anything to do with the Xtian fuckwads who are exporting their hatred to Uganda and Nigeria.
Too bad they were too cowardly to ride out the noise, and find out just how many of their donors were such small-minded bigots that they'd deny money to needy African kids in order to make a pointless, hateful gesture.
Ironic, isn't it, that for fear that the haters would stop giving them the sweet sweet monies, they didn't hang in there long enough to find out if people who have real love in their hearts would start donating. They might have had a pleasant surprise.
As somebody who's in the closet at work -- DON'T JUDGE ME, YOU SOCIALIST FASCISTS-- I know damn well a certain percentage of their people are lying about it.
"Courage of convictions."
Does that mean "Yeh - I did it. And I'd do it again?"
You know - like Judge Joe Brown.
EMERGENCY! EEEEKKK!!! Scary gays!
Anyone who didn't see that one coming just hasn't been paying attention.

World Vision gave in to the peer pressure of the noisy religious class.
FIFY - the howling homophobic assholes are a minority.

I seem to recall something their Big Guy said about being unable to serve both God and Mammon.

We used to run their stupid 30 hour famine at our school. I'm glad we don't anymore.
