Powerful advocates are trying to write protections into the law for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. Those advocates are battling against conservative Christians who are staunch in their beliefs of right and wrong; they wonder why anyone would deny others their rights. But some Christians say they’re tired of being made into the bad guys. They’re tired of being called the bigots and haters. They feel that the bigotry, hatred and discrimination is actually against them and they are being bullied, as the cultural tide seems to be moving away from hard-and-fast biblical prohibitions. They believe the government is abandoning them. Once at the core of American politics, some evangelical Christians feel increasingly relegated to the fringe, betrayed by their own conservative lawmakers as their cultural dominance is usurped by a smaller group wielding the heft of the media and corporations.
