Unions that Divide: Churches Split over Gay Marriage
Laurie Goodstein of The New York Times writes on the varied reactions of churches on Obama’s support for marriage equality. She notes it’s complicated, as there are churches and ministers within the same denomination who disagree, with some supporting gay marriage, and others opposing. “[I]n the clash over homosexuality, the battle lines do not simply pit ministers against secular advocates for gay rights,” she writes. “Religion is on both sides in this conflict.”
