pinkrabbitsays: No straight weddings
"K.C. Church: No Straight Weddings
The congregation of Trinity United Methodist Church in Kansas City, Missouri voted overwhelmingly to no longer perform weddings for straight couples as long as a church rule forbids such ceremonies for gay couples, the Associated Press reported. Rev. Sally Haynes, the pastor, said that this will allow the church to treat all parishioners equally, 30-40 percent of whom are gay or lesbian. The local bishop, Ann Sherer, said she supported the church’s right to make “worship decisions” and praised Trinity’s outreach to underserved populations."
