Victory For Same-Sex Supporters In USA

Why same-sex supporters are celebrating

Same-sex supporters won unprecedented victories this week in the USA. Wisconsin elected the nation's first openly gay senator, while three new gay candidates were elected to the House.  Same-sex marriage proponents won in all four states where gay marriage was contested.  Those who support biblical marriage are more counter-cultural than ever.

Now consider this fact: More evangelicals than Mormons voted for Mitt Romney, in both percentage and votes cast. 
In fact, more conservative Christians voted for the Republican nominee than for any candidate in American history.  Mr Obama attracted even fewer Protestants, evangelicals, and Catholics than in his 2008 victory, but still won decisively.

Clearly, Christians who want to make a difference must do more than vote.  Is our witness still relevant to our changing culture?
