There was a Time When Christianity Supported Same Sex Marriage

Last week I was at a corporate dinner when a gentleman - who is quite obviously a homophobe - brought up same sex marriage.  He asked me directly how I felt about our "gay" president and whether Obama losing the Christian vote would hurt his reelection campaign (like Christians voted for him in the first place). 

I love it when some asshole gives you the opportunity to school him - I'd just read a piece reposted on boingboing on same sex marriage.  More specifically, how gay marriage was a common Christian rite back in the 11th and 12th centuries:

An unfortunate part of being human is that we are all limited by our brain's ability to think, reason and make sense of life. Many of us cling to myths and stories to help us do this. The problem with the brain is that if we don’t like what we see, we can literally deny reality with our beliefs.

Take the case of North Carolina. Last week voters passed a constitutional amendment defining marriage solely as a one woman and one man union. The reason given was that the supposed honoring of “God’s clear definition of marriage.” Now this whole “clear definition” concept is really just a complete denial of reality. If it’s all so clear, why is there controversy at all? It’s clear, right? Beuler?

I love this cover - I can't believe The New Yorker rejected it.  They didn't even give a reason.  It's no surprise that Robert Crumb has refused to ever work with them again.

On the 13th August 2011 I attended the best wedding I have ever been to. It was my own to my wife Michelle.

However we have been receiving messages from all our guests saying it was also the best wedding they had ever been to. For many of our friends and family from Australia, US and UK this was the first same sex wedding they had ever attended. The wedding was not traditional.

My City, Once the Gay Mecca of the World, is Back on Top

I cried at breakfast this morning, in a restaurant. I was glancing up at the TV when it happened. The waitress came over and asked me if everything was OK. I nodded yes, wiping my tears with my wadded up napkin.

“They’re tears of joy,” I choked out. She nodded as if she understood. I looked back up at the TV. CNN was showing people dancing and applauding because the Governor of New York just signed a bill allowing same sex marriages in my great state.

I’m not really sure why I cried so suddenly, except that I felt a sense of joy and relief. My city, once the gay mecca of the world, is back on top - in touch with the changing times.
