The Collapse of Anti-Gay Religion(?)

Polls, pastors, and theology are shifting toward same-sex marriage, even among conservatives

Last weekend I attended a beautiful Christian same-sex marriage at our local United Church of Christ. The two grooms are deeply committed Christians, and one of them is a Deacon at this very church. I'm not even Christian myself, but I was quite moved at how very present Christ and Christian love were in the ceremony. It was the most joyous and spiritually nourishing marriage ceremony I've ever witnessed.

This UCC church is the same one that has turned most of their front lawn into a vegetable garden where anyone needing food is welcome to harvest what they like. There's a rainbow flag above the front door, and a choir that you can sometimes hear even from outside. There are two other Christian churches in the neighborhood that are just as open and affirming, and progressive just like Jesus really was. As a non-Christian who has always liked Jesus very much, all I can say is...AMEN!

Jesus is very much my role model. =)

That sounds amazing! What area is that?

This is in Somerville, MA. I love it here. :-)

I love to see rainbow flags outside of churches! I'm going to get to attend my first same-sex ceremony at my church this summer and I'm stoked. The grooms are members of my choir and want it to be both a celebration of their marriage and marriage equality in Minnesota. The choir is going to boogie down! I can't wait. :D
