Finally same-sex marriages are legal
Starting as early as April 24, clergy members such as myself will finally be able to officiate legal marriages (religious and secular) for same-sex couples in the State of Iowa. As a Cleric with the Universal Life Church, my right to officiate the marriages of same sex couples, in accordance with my beliefs, is now a protected right by the State of Iowa.
In 1967, 72 percent of Americans were opposed to interracial marriage; nevertheless, “activist” judges realized that allowing these marriages would not diminish the Conservative Christian teachings that mixed raced marriage is an abomination. On April 3, Iowa’s “activist” judges recognized that allowing same-sex marriages will not diminish the Conservative Christian teachings that gays and lesbians are ungodly or unholy.
I am a supporter of same-sex marriage, and I am willing to perform same-sex marriages because I see no difference between the racism I have experienced and the discrimination homosexuals have experienced stemming from Conservative Christian ideology. I am not white, my husband is, and I am in a mixed race marriage. I have been told my union to with my husband, Sam Looney is sacrilegious and not recognized as marriage by several Conservative Christians. These people have used biblical passages such as Genesis 28:1, Leviticus 19:19 and Deuteronomy 7:3-4 to support their racist beliefs; however, I have a Certificate of Marriage because marriage cannot be defined by racists
