text: Over the last 30 years, LGBTQ Oregonians have been repeatedly attacked by Evangelical Christians (1992's Ballot Measure 9, and on, and on ... ). Yet, Bailey chooses to spend his Sundays with Evangelical Christians, who continue teaching - albeit now with hip music, tattoos, and lattes - that women must submit to men, and that LGBTQ people are inherently sinful.
  
  Doing one thing while saying another on the topic of basic human equality is tolerable - in a First Amendment sense - among private citizens. But, not in someone seeking to lead Portland, Oregon, as our Mayor. Bailey should either admit he believes the Evangelical Christian theology of his church, or join one of the many which treat women and LGBTQ people as equals with straight men, if that's what he actually believes.
