Gay marriage

From Reuters:

TORONTO/OTTAWA (Reuters) - Two Toronto men were wed on Tuesday in the first legal gay marriage ceremony to be held in North America after a landmark Canadian court ruling set aside the heterosexual definition of matrimony... If the ruling is not appealed, the province of Ontario would be the first jurisdiction in North America to legalize gay marriage. Vermont and Quebec have allowed gay civil unions but not full marriage.

Update: Jordon comments. I tend to agree with him.

I'm sure there will be an uproar in pulpits across the land this Sunday. The irony of it all is that homosexuality and all it's trappings are no more or less ungodly than heterosexual adultery, lying, stealing... pick your commandment. I'm sure there may be legal implications for those of us who would refuse to perform such "marriages", but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. I find it interesting that the Apostle Paul never expresses his indignation toward the evils of his day, and the Roman world was rife with things to be indignant about. Court decisions ought not impact our mission to be salt and light and make disciples. Brian

I'm still waiting for the Christian uproar over gluttony, anger, and gossip within churches. So far it hasn't happened. :) Somehow, sexual sins seem to get all the attention. 1 Corinthians 5:12 has a pretty important principle: "What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church?"

You sort of answered my question Brian. What happens if you are asked to perform a gay marriage cermony? Would you?
