Kentucky church comes out in support of gay marriage

Tip o' the hat to the Douglass Boulevard Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky whose members have voted to support gay marriage. In fact, they've gone one step further and voted to publicly protest marriage discrimination against gays by not signing marriage licenses until gay marriage is legalized.


"In our attempt to live out God's call to pursue justice for all, the Elders of the congregation joined the Pastors in witnessing to the right for gay and lesbian persons to God's blessing on their union and witnessing to the Commonwealth toward ending the refusal to recognize these unions," said Rev. Chuck Lewis, Chair of Elders with the church.


Kudos!

    I've been told the better term is "marriage equality," and I agree. Since you seem to support it, you might consider this improved term. (Although it might have a slightly broader meaning than you intended.)

    As for me, I think the government should butt completely out of marriage. It's a private contract / religious thing.
