Oregon church to discriminate no more

Oregon's First Congregational United Church says it will not marry anymore heterosexuals until same-sex couples have a right to marry as well. The Reverend Pam Shepherd had this to say about the issue.

"I've been for civil rights for gay and lesbian people for a long, long time, but I never thought, 'I'm helping the discrimination every time I sign a license,'" she said. "Every time I sign a license, it's like I'm saying, 'OK,' but it's not OK." (source)

Love her!!
