D.C. celebrates same-sex marriage! A huge non-demoninational wedding will take place on March 20th. Congratulations!!

Of course not everyone is happy about this. Catholic Charities is one organization who is already looking for loopholes.  According to the Washington Post, “Rather than provide health coverage to same-sex partners, Archbishop Donald W. Wuerl decided to cut benefits for spouses of all future Catholic Charities employees, new spouses of current employees and existing spouses of current employees not already on the plan. Wuerl has said the benefits change is justifiable under Catholic teaching as long as the employees are paid a just wage.”

It may be “justifiable” but it doesn’t seem very Christian, now does it?

In other gay news… California state Senator Roy Ashburn was arrested for a DUI after leaving a gay club in Sacramento. That isn’t very interesting until you look at his anti-gay voting record.

Here is an overview from TalkingPointsMemo.com:

• “In 2006, he voted no on a measure to add material on the contributions of gay Americans who had contributed to the development of California or the United States
• In 2008 he voted against expanding anti-discrimination laws to include sexual discrimination.
• In 2009 he voted against a resolution to oppose Prop 8, the anti-gay marriage ballot question.
• Last September, he voted against recognizing out-of-state same-sex marriages.
• That same month Ashburn opposed creating Harvey Milk Day, to honor the slain gay rights icon from San Francisco.”

That’s some serious denial!
