Nearly 50 clergy in Nebraska have pledged to perform same-sex marriages if the states ban on gay marriage is overturned.
The clergy members include Protestant ministers and rabbis.
The effort to organize clergy is led by Heartland Clergy for Inclusion, an interfaith group working for acceptance of the LGBT community.
The list of clergy can be found at http://www.heartlandproclamation.org/ready-to-marry/.

I wish we could get ALL anti Gay people out in the open
That includes those here on DU...
If there was Jesus, he would hug these clergy folks.
And we should never forget what Jesus himself said about gay people, which was...nothing. Not a word.
Kind of makes you wonder why his followers don't pay more attention to the things he was talking about.
