I found this article interesting. It makes it clear to me that not everyone gets the point that the SCOTUS decision is being perceived as something it is not, at least in my mind. I don't see it necessarily as an acceptance of anything other than the fact that the government has a responsibility to make sure that ALL of its citizens enjoy the same rights.

Here's an interesting article about the number of christian denominations that have accepted same sex marriage.

Generally lost in the discussion is the fact that an ever-increasing number of Christian churches have decided on their own to perform or at least accept same-sex marriages. The trend will probably get more attention after yesterday’s decision by the Episcopal Church of the U.S.—the denomination to which eleven presidents belonged, and traditionally viewed as the the spiritual home of the country’s economic and cultural elite—to authorize national use of a same-sex marriage rite.

Good blog.

It is fun to have you back.

I am watching Rachel and there are all these county clerks down south refusing licenses to gay couples. It is funny to me.

The real issue involves SS and pensions and other legalities.

Anyway, we both made the front page!

Kind of nice, huh?

The new worry is the burning down of African American churches.

There are churches that gay couples can find to marry them, if they want a church wedding.

Two side stories stood out one for stupidity, the other for bravery.

One was CNN misidentifying a flag displaying sex toys as an ISIS flag. They called in a terrorism expert

I THINK it's a done deal. I can't imagine SCOTUS would hear another case, but who knows. In my own mind, it was the right decision. I don't see it as a religious issue, but a decision about equality.

I don't see how "religious freedom" has suffered from it. Churches are free to continue along, just as they have. No one can force a church to marry gays at this point. Now, should people start pushing for that, I can see a real problem, but I hope everyone will just let sleeping dogs lie. I really do believe in the separation of church and state, and think the government should stay out of that kettle of fish! (I've got the old sayings going on here!)

Thanks for the catch!
