The text of this blog post recapitulates that current page, as it stands today. If you have additional resources, put them in the comments. I will update the Theology page accordingly.
Here is a direct link to the theology page for future reference:

Tired of getting hammered by anti-gay "Christians"? First, remember, the majority of Christians are actually pro-equality (despite what the Evangelical right or Roman Catholic bishops claim). And the Bible doesn't address our modern understanding of homosexuality. (It's not so great on astronomy or medicine either!) Here are some tools to fight back.
Theological resources for fighting the anti-gay Christians

- Claiming the Blessing
