A Baptist church in North Carolina has voted to stop legally marrying ANYONE until homosexuals have marriage equality.
“As people of faith, affirming the Christian teaching that before God all people are equal, we will no longer participate in this discrimination,” the church’s statement says.
The vote was unanimous and brought tears to the eyes of some of the 100 or so members who stood to vote in favor of the “statement on marriage ceremonies.”
The fact that an entire church is supporting this is SO MUCH more amazing and meaningful than a few hipsters deciding that boycotting marriage until gay marriage is legal is a great way to get out of proposing to their long-term girlfriend.
Love you NC!
This surprises me! (In a good way).
North Carolina + Baptist Churches doesn’t usually equate to marriage equality in my mind.
I’ve been corrected.
