Church of Scotland to allow same-sex marriages

The General Assembly votes to allow ministers to conduct same-sex weddings in church.

www.bbc.com

Members of the General Assembly in Edinburgh voted to change church law following years of campaigning.
It means same-sex couples will be able to marry in church in services conducted by ministers.
Ministers and deacons will be able to apply to become celebrants of same sex marriage, but they will not be forced to take part.
The results of the vote were: 274 for and 136 against.

I like that they allowed ministers the option of applying to become celebrants of same sex marriage. Because some won’t be ready to accept this yet.

Great news for the Scots!

Only JUST NOW?! Well…better late than never. Who knows. In a few years maybe we will be the ones recriminalizing same sex marriage and they will be looking at us funny.

Why do Scotsmen wear kilts? Because they can and the Church lets them do it openly.

Why do Scottish men wear kilts?​

Because the sheep can hear a zipper from a mile away.

I suspect that this may be more prescient than you think.

Wot!?! They're going to let ewes marry ewes instead of real men? That's disgusting and proper naff. Wot will we do with all the wellingtons? Och, this new generation is mad and perverse!

Cheers and be well.
