re: #141 sagehen

oh, he wasn’t first at all.

Jimmy Carter is pretty inclusive — of gays, blacks, hispanics, muslims, women, immigrants, the poor…

A lifelong veryvery Christian, taught Sunday School for 60 years; finally had to switch churches when the Elmer Gantrys got too publicly powerful. He’s everything Christians who take their scripture seriously should aspire to; too bad his foreign policy was hit and miss, and his understanding of economics (and his understanding of Washington power structures) was so inadequate.

But I’d never doubt his True Christian-ness. Not for a second.

Did Carter advocate for any legislation effecting LGBT people as President? But fair enough. I have great regard for Carter as a man and Christian.
