Can't Legally Marry but...

**gaystoryman** · 08-09-2004, 04:01 PM

I couldn't resist. I got this email today and it accidentally got opened, normally it would go in the trash but it struck my funny bone a bit and also the irony of it all just struck me as something I wanted to share.

I mean there is a huge battle in the current USA about gays not being allowed to marry, the basic argument being of course that it undermines the traditional values and meaning of marraige as supposedly proclaimed by God... right? So we can't marry but...

So uh, anyone can be a Minister and even open a church but us queers can't marry? Like uh.. which makes more of a mockery of the so called institute of marraige, me marrying someone I love who is also a guy or me performing the ceremony and having my own church without knowing diddly about religion?

:wacko:

I'm a legally ordained minister, too. It was some website I found a few years back, and me and my freinds all became ministers.

And I'm STILL not allowed in a Baptist Church after that little misunderstanding with the garden hose on mass Baptism day. Some people carry a grudge forever.

Ummm, what's the url? I wanna go there and become an ordained minister!

I'll start a chruch and call it "The Holy Church Of Heavenly Eruption"

Naturally, I'll be excepting donations. I'll need lots of nice bling to wear while I give my seman...er, I mean sermon :shifty: hehe

But seriously, I do find it interesting that my sister is an ordained minister too.
She IS more qualified then most to be someone's spiritual advisor....but, the whole thing is rather bizar
