The New Civil Rights Movement : Does The U.S. Constitution Already Make Gay Marriage Legal?

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 21:05:47 +0000

The Establishment Clause of the First Amendment CLEARLY prohibits the establishment of a national religion by the Congress, or the preference of one religion over another; non-religion over religion, or religion over non-religion. That said, I am a legally ordained minister of the Universal Life Church Monastery in Seattle. I have joined the ranks of such philanthropists and activists as John Lennon and Richard Branston (both of whom are ordained: www.ulcministers.com). I see it as both an expression of my religious beliefs and a cause to bring peace and equality into people's minds. Currently the ULC Monastery in Seattle is seeking to challenge the constitutionality, both Federal and State; of allowing Congress to restrict or restrain ministers from their ministerial duties, be it a funeral for a gay couple or a marriage. For their full proclamation which, coincidentally is from 2007, visit: http://forum.themonastery.org/index.php?showtopic... The fight to secure constitutional rights for gays does not belong within the 14th Amendment, rather it is a First Amendment issue. You may reach our churches administrative office by emailing webmaster@themonastery.org or by visiting www.TheMonastery.org "We're All Children of the Same Universe" We too, have a right to be here.
