To each other. By a Methodist minister. With another 100 Methodists ministers in attendance to lend moral support. There's something happenin' here. What it is ain't exactly clear.
Few things arouse more venom in fundamentalists than do gay people.
In the same way that the law denies convicted felons certain of the privileges of citizenship, religionists believe that gay people have forfeited many of their rights and privileges solely by virtue of being gay. I don't buy any of that, but to confront this issue within a religious context misses the point. After all, it is not unreasonable for a religion to say that certain practices are not permitted by their Church. If the Methodists or the Catholics or the Ba Hai's want to bar their respective clergies from performing gay weddings, then that is their clear right. The folks who insist on staging a wedding that is clearly prohibited by their church are on the same wavelength with those folks who stand outside abortion clinics waving their placards with pictures of aborted fetuses.
