This is a top post from a good friend about assumptions on how Christians and progressive social groups must relate in the public sphere.
It's been sparked by the recent controversy and counter-controversy of Adshel's decision to take down posters from the Rip & Roll campaign, and its subsequent decision to reinstate the posters. The decisions were made in response to public outcry and then to the public outcry to the public outcry.
Very helpful.
As for the poster itself, I have to say it's not particularly racy compared to most heterosexual stuff on billboards. That said, those protesting against the Rip & Roll ads are also campaigning against the heterosexual racy stuff so some of the charges of hypocrisy are poorly aimed. It's just that they've been less 'successful' in those campaigns. Probably due to the dollars behind them, I suspect.
