It’s about time this happened. It’s important to have some Baptists in there, not just the Episcopals and Jews.

Any religious gathering in support of gay marriage is a good thing, whether or not they are concidered the “Real” religions. Society notices these things and thus opinions start to change because of them. Lets keep our hopes high and be greatful for the changes that come our way.
