To invoke the name of Christ in such a way! Unacceptably evil.

Yes, and I know that your marriage teetered in legal limbo for too long. But, no worries; truth outs. We are slow on Earth to implement what our souls know in a nanosecond. How beautiful that our Southern brethren can answer this call, respond to this dignity. As someone who lives and breathes...

No, not at all, dear Nova. I got ordained for same the reason (to marry two close friends who wanted me to do it). It is an honor! I'm just happy that you and your betrothed have finally made honest men of each other...what in the world took you so long?! ;-)

I'm a minister ordained over the internet (who has married 8 couples) so I , happily, resemble this remark. Let us, as a nation, support two human beings in this deepest of human commitments! (of course, I am also a church-going, Sunday school-teaching, Jesus freak)

Indeed. I feel a little personal about it, of course, since I started it many moons ago and I am not without the suffering that Ego brings! One day, I would like it to end with a post that says "EVERYWHERE ON EARTH." Of course, maybe it shouldn't even end there because if history teaches us...

I think the title should remain as is. There are plenty of places left to follow.

I have been in deepest mourning for my city (Charleston) this last week. I have posted on my WS blog a letter I recently sent to 170 SC Senators and Representatives. The Supreme Court ruling today on gay marriage buoyed my heart in a way I cannot express. I just got home from work, so I am in...

Congratulations, dear Ireland! I married one of your own and we were thrilled to hear news of the vote! Also, hello Mexico: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/15/world/americas/with-little-fanfare-mexican-supreme-court-effectively-legalizes-same-sex-marriage.html Can the USofA be far...

We started this thread a little more than six years ago when Sweden became the first country to legalize marriage for all people. As we stand at the precipice of the same thing happening in the United States of America, I had to come bump it! I'm a big fan of the institution of marriage and more...

Welcome, Alabama! http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2015/02/09/the_supreme_court_just_admitted_it_s_going_to_rule_for_gay_marriage.html

I thought that when the one Appeals Court went off the reservation, the Supremes may well take a case or two! It's fairly thrilling and I don't have any genuine belief that the Supreme Court will NOT make marriage equality the law of the land. What a ride!! We started this thread in 2009 and...

Coming soon to a Supreme Court near you…….! http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/16/politics/court-gay-marriage/index.html

In a stumble backwards, the 6th Circuit upholds gay marriage bans: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/11/06/gay-marriage-bans_n_6117196.html Supreme Court, here we come!

Also, Kansas! http://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/judge-strikes-down-kansas-gay-marriage-ban

I know I shouldn't focus unduly on South Carolina, but I can't help it! http://www.heraldonline.com/2014/11/04/6491196/federal-judge-gergel-of-charleston.html
