Nearly 50 clergy in Nebraska have pledged to perform same-sex marriages if the state’s 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/.

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.

Considering when and where Jesus lived ...

Or do you really believe in a God of Niceness?
