Oregon Church Refuses to Sign ANY Marriage Certificates Until Gays Have Equal Marriage

The First Congregational United Church of Ashland, Oregon is taking a stand against the homophobic machine. Okay, they’re not really abandoning the Bible - but they are refusing to participate in the hetero-normative system of marriage until LGBTQ couples have equal marriage rights. Rev. Pam Sheppard says:

“I’ve been for civil rights for gay and lesbian people for a long, long time, but I never thought, ’I’m helping the discrimination every time I sign a license.’… Every time I sign a license, it’s like I’m saying, ’OK,’ but it’s not OK.”

No, it’s not ok. Boycotting marriage is a great way to take a stand against homophobia, and since you’re not getting married you can actually enjoy your life.
