Openly gay Bishop Gene Robinson of New Hampshire spoke in Maine Thursday to support voters in voting NO on Question 1 which attempts to overthrow the state's new marriage equality law.
The report mentions that the Episcopal Church doesn't recognize marriage equality, but it does treat same-sex couples with respect. The church recently decided to begin crafting a prayer to bless same-sex unions.
I do find it odd that Bishop Robinson said there is no right or wrong way of voting on this measure. I think the marriage equality law clearly delineates the separation of church and state and that it is wrong to strip minorities of their rights.
He is a great man and has overcome a lot. Here's a clip of his speech:

Could Bishop Robinson actually have said that there is no wrong answer to the question of marriage equality? Or is this a Fox News slant? What a weird report.
ReplyDeleteI really don't know. The fact that he's speaking up for NO on 1 is proof of his support, but I think maybe he was trying not to judge those who feel otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWonder what he would say if he were a member of the Canadian church?
