Evidence of Christianity Isn't Evidence of Bias against Gay People

Earlier today I wrote about Brian Hagedorn's surprise victory in his race for the Wisconsin supreme court. Hagedorn was attacked for founding a Christian school that enforced traditional Christian views of sexual morality and for giving paid speeches to my former colleagues at the Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center has (absurdly) labeled a "hate group." Traditionally Republican business groups abandoned him (one even demanded its donation back), and Wisconsin has been trending blue since last year.
 
Hagedorn won anyway, and — according to local activists — his victory was fueled by citizens fed up with religious intolerance. Thousands of Wisconsin voters viewed his race as a referendum on whether Bible-believing citizens were eligible for public office.
