Hundreds of Sacramento-area students rallied to support four students suspended for wearing anti-gay shirts. One participant said: "It's only going to get worse against Christians. We're going to get persecuted more and more. But those who stand to the end: God is going to save them." Um, right...

Probing Queer Clergy Sex

COELogo.jpg
Christ almighty, there's yet another religious brouhaha brewing, this time over in England. Gay churchie campaigners, Changing Attitude, reports that at least 51 Church of England priests have entered church-sanctioned civil partnerships.

While the church allows gay and lesbian priests to tie the knot, they are also meant to enforce strict pre-marriage celibacy laws. Some critics, however, allege the church hasn't done enough to ensure the couples are, in fact, of the virginal variety. Traditionalist clergyman George Curry says:

Many of these people have defied the [celibacy] guidance. These are men and women who are in active sexual relationships. These figures expose the bishops’ failure of leadership.
Curry and his allies would like to see The Church of England take more proactive measure to guarantee that the love birds haven't taken the sinful plunge. Such as? Well, a rector endorsed rectal examine may get to the bottom of things.

british-lesbian-canada.jpg

A British lesbian couple married in Canada was rebuffed today by the court after they sued to have their marriage recognized for what it is -- a marriage -- in their home country. The judge ruled that although homosexual relationships are in no way in inferior to marriage, they still must make do with the civil partnerships law, which grants all the rights and priveleges of marriage without the title of "marriage."

The interesting thing about this couple is that they did not travel to Canada solely for the sake of getting married. They were both living and working in British Columbia at the time of their marriage and now have transferred back to the UK, where they are suddenly not married, and in their home country no less.

While they are not fighting for tangible rights, we can understand the couple's desire to help make their own country as progressive as their temporarily adopted home of Canada.
