"Better with no endorsements than bad ones." That key point keeps getting lost in the kerfuffle over the past few days. There seems to be an assumption that if Big Left won't get on board, Big Right is needed. The costs of that are big if one wants to reach the broadest audience.

The question no one seems to have an answer for is why people like this (and there were several like him) were asked to write endorsements for the document. There were no other Christians or Republicans w/less extreme views? How does this help the document reach a wide audience?pic.twitter.com/0rbDUxjo9L

Why would they ask someone like Hibbs et al to endorse it in the first place? Why is this question seen as problematic or broadly anti-Christian or anti-conservative? To take just one example, the activist Rob Smith is a conservative gay man who wouldn't espouse extremist views.

Both. Family Policy Alliance in particular takes a similar position to Hibbs, though perhaps not as strident fire-and-brimstone in approach. The same question applies (how does this help?). If the guide is intended for Christian conservative parents and religious schools, fine.

Transgender Trend's guide was independently produced, and wasn't sponsored/endorsed by orgs which hold and have long held extremist views. Big difference.

Of course it will help some people.
