Complicit in prejudice and bigotry and denying the worth of families
damn straight... oops, i mean... oh, never mind...
it is totally irrational to attempt to prevent those who have a deep emotional and often spiritual commitment to one another from publicly declaring and formalizing that commitment... this world needs all the love it can get... Submit To Propeller

The president of the United Church of Christ, an organization made up of Evangelical Christian denominations, has denounced yesterday's Washington State court ruling reaffirming a ban on gay marriage.
"Rather than defending constitutional rights," said Rev. John H. Thomas, general minister and leader of the 1.2-million-member organization, "the court has allowed itself to become complicit in prejudice and bigotry."
"In the name of 'family values,'" he continued, "we have denied the worth of families across our land and in our churches, families marked by love and covenant commitment."
