Methodists for Same Sex Marriage

Six years ago, a Methodist minister performed the wedding ceremony for his gay son. He told his superiors and didn't hear anything from them, so we went ahead with it. Only recently has a parishioner complained, leading to a trial by his church. In support of him, 50 Methodist ministers solemnized the vows of a gay couple.

Cheers to the (many) religious people in favor of marriage equality!

Update: Guilty.

Methodists are generally pretty cool. I heard my first female minister at my then-husband's Methodist church. She was great! It was a shock to my evangelical bones, but nowadays I look back with appreciation. They are sweet folk.
