Hey now, let's not demean pet rocks like that!
Pet rocks were trendsetters, on the leading edge!
A Tamagotchi is nothing but an electric pet rock.
My daughter has one, and thinks it's the coolest thing ever!

By contrast, the "anti-gay buffoons" (love the term!) are on the TRAILING edge. They are being evolved out of the social system, just like racists and sexists.

With this move by the ELCA, another nearly 5 million Americans, nearly 2% of the country's population, have chosen to evolve.

I don't have figures on the other groups you mention, but I DO believe that with this evolution, the number of members of gay relationship-friendly religious groups is quickly approaching the number of actual gay people in the country.

Truly astounding.
