Some things you should read

First off, I wish I'd seen this interesting blog post quite a while ago. For those of you who don't like clicking links for whatever reason, let me sum up: some researchers found some evidence of church-sanctioned (and that means Catholic church, given the age) same-sex marriages. I don't know why I haven't seen this thing linked a hundred times by now, or why it isn't being taken up by liberal Christians everywhere and widely disseminated, but I can at least do my small part to help draw attention to it.

And now I want you to put aside your dislike of clicking links and read this sorta-recap of last night's Glee. Because the vast majority of what's written in it shows exactly why I think it's important to support same-sex marriage, and to oppose all bullying and discrimination against gays.

This is important. My religion is about love. Denying its expression to other people is wrong. Denying brotherly and neighborly love to people because of who they fall in love with is wrong. There's no argument you can make that will stop me believing this is something all Christians should think is important.
