Status: offline 		Being a lifelong Episcopalian, I have always been proud of the church's views on gender and sexuality. The church has often gone against the precepts of the main bodies of Christianity that forbids, banishes and ex-communicates, and instead welcomes, loves and accepts those whom others would look down upon. As a religion, We Rock!

There is no way to use it to paint the left or right as evil and it makes christians look tolerant, which seems to be frowned upon in p & r. So I'm really not surprised. Personally I wish there were more stories like this one.

More of a question of what's to say? It is what it is.

Obviously, I think it is.
