The saddest part of Campolo\u2019s change of mind, however, is that it will not be enough, as early responses from the gay community already indicate. Even a moment\u2019s reflection on the Bruce Jenner affair or a casual conversation with a teenager would reveal to him that the gay issue is, as far as the secular world is considered, done and dusted. All Campolo has done as an evangelical is modify his sexual ethics to conform to the comfortable, safe, middle-class tastes of modern America. He will shock no-one but evangelicals\u201d\u201dand, I might add, only evangelicals unfamiliar with his other work.<\/p>\n
As the ever lengthening DNA chain of the LGBTQQIAAP lobby indicates, Campolo is just the latest example of a perennial evangelical tendency on matters of culture: He is a day late and a dollar short. And the people whose community he now chooses to serve will not be satisfied with that. One wonders if even he will be satisfied with it in the long run.<\/p>\n
