So, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness?

In 1992, Iowa voters were considering a constitutional amendment prohibiting discrimination based on sex.

Pat Robertson—the televangelist behind The 700 Club, former Republican presidential candidate and founder of the Christian Coalition—wanted the amendment defeated.

His organization sent out a fundraising letter warning that the “feminist agenda” encouraged women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians.

Yes. All of that because Iowa was considering equal rights for women.

Robertson meant it as a warning about what feminism would do to marriage, Christianity and the traditional family.

Instead, feminists reclaimed the quote. The shortened version—“leave their husbands, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians”—ended up on shirts, posters and merch.

Women turned it into a slogan.

The campaign worked—at least temporarily. Iowa voters rejected the amendment 52% to 48% in 1992. Six years later, voters approved an equal-rights amendment by an overwhelming margin (84%), adding protections against discrimination based on sex to the Iowa Constitution.

Dolly Parton, one of the greatest songwriters in American music and a beloved LGBTQ icon, has died at 80.

Dolly wrote thousands of songs, including “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You,” sold more than 100 million records, became a movie star and built Dollywood in the mountains where she grew up. Her Imagination Library, created in honor of a father who could not read, grew from one Tennessee county into an international program putting millions of free books into the hands of children.

And through all of it, Dolly remained openly and unapologetically Christian.

She also became one of country music’s earliest and most consistent friends to LGBTQ+ people. Brandi Carlile recalled being 15, queer and growing up in a small town when she read Dolly speaking in support of gay people. Carlile later described receiving that love from Dolly as “second only to God.”

Dolly supported marriage equality as early as 2009. She opposed efforts to restrict transgender people and wrote “Travelin’ Thru” for the transgender-themed film Transamerica. Gay people filled her audiences, worked for her and became part of the culture surrounding her.

But Dolly’s clearest explanation came when she was asked about Tennessee legislation targeting transgender people. She talked about the gay, lesbian and transgender people in her own family and among her employees, and about seeing how deeply rejection hurt them.

“I know and love them all, and I do not judge.”

And then: “If there’s something to be judged, that is God’s business.”

She believed in God—and she believed LGBTQ+ people when they told her who they were. And she loved them without requiring anything in return.

The hair, rhinestones and larger-than-life image made Dolly a natural gay icon. Her character made the relationship last.

Country music lost a giant today and many of us lost a friend.

We will always love you, Dolly.

It’s a modern miracle how often an “unchanging” word of God has needed changing whenever the people holding power needed it to say something different.

What a time to be alive. 🫠
