The Radical Right (sometimes calling itself the "Religious Right") is a political movement aimed at changing the United States into a Christian theocracy run by conservative Christians. They adjust their tactics to whatever they find most useful for raising money. Their former prime target was abortion clinics, but they have found that they can raise more money by targetting lesbian, bisexual, gay, and transgender people. When asked at a UU Ministers Association meeting about prophetic messages in this age, John Buhrens, current President of the UUA, emphasized the need to speak out about the fact that "gay rights are not special rights".
