Christian Conservatives Opposing Feldblum's Nomination To EEOC

An article today by Bill Berkowitz at BuzzFlash says that Christian conservatives are mounting a campaign to oppose confirmation of Chai R. Feldblum who has been nominated to the EEOC by President Obama. (See prior posting.) Feldblum is the first openly gay or lesbian person to be nominated for the EEOC. An article on the Traditional Values Coalition website opposing Feldblum is titled: "If You Hate America You Have a Lawyer — Chai Feldblum." Feldblum, a professor at Georgetown Law School, founded the Moral Values Project, dedicated to making a moral case for sexual and gender equity.
