"But actually (and I mention this a couple of times above), there are a fair number of churches all over the country, perhaps more in some areas than others, who not only welcome gays and lesbians, but are willing to perform marriage or commitment ceremonies for them. They have signed what is called an "Affirmation of Welcome" (google it for more information), announcing that their doors are open to ALL people, no matter what race, ethnicity, national origin, OR gender orientation."

As well they all should be & as the guy who started the christen movement would want.
Now I don't care much for churches & religions, they don't mean much in my life but what I've heard & been taught about Jesus is that he saw all as his family & children of his father. I think to myself, in todays world he'd just take a razor to his throat & end it seeing as there are so many that suffer at the hands of the righteous & in his name.
Maybe some day we'll all have equal rights without the agony of some one else's extasty (pun)
