The question was "What are your thoughts on a judge's ruling effectively legalizing gay marriage in Wisconsin?"
I wrote:
This ruling is a beautiful move for justice and equality. News of it came during the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Conference of the United Church of Christ, the denomination I am in. Our leaders interrupted a speaker to tell us. There was much rejoicing and joyful spontaneous singing of the Doxology! One of our Milwaukee pastors married his partner within minutes of the ruling and sent us pictures. We saw two happy grooms, whose relationship has lasted longer than many 'traditional' marriages, finally allowed the legal and social benefits of having their relationship validated by the state. My denomination has ordained, married, celebrated, and fought for rights of our LGBT brothers and sisters for decades. I am overjoyed that Wisconsin is moving FOWARD, joining other states (and my church) in recognizing basic human dignity by celebrating love, not putting unjust and hateful limits on it. May full legalization come soon!
