Hawaii has just become the 15th state to legalize gay marriage. Despite the impassioned pleas of opponents, the legislature voted overwhelmingly in favor of the law. This is a good thing - it extends person freedom, it will (over time) expand the concept of family, and it will reduce pointless discrimination. All good. In the constant tension between cultural values and religious values, the religious majority seems to think that virtue only flows one way. Usually it does. But We are witnessing a time in history when the opposite is true. 10 years ago when the minister of Central Union Church was retiring, he stated that despite the calls for gay marriage, he would never permit it, since it was clearly immoral. Today this same church has a study committee to decide whether gay marriages will be performed in the church. Well, maybe not soon, but I think its going to happen. And that will be a good thing.
