While I disagree with her assertion that the struggle needs a faith component (it is whole and complete without resorting to religious argumentation), it's clearly true that religion is now, and always has been, a useful political tool.

“I believe that the struggle for equal human and civil rights for lesbian, gay, transgender, bisexual, same-sex-loving, gender-nonconforming and queer persons is the civil rights agenda of our time.”
