“I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and Constitutions. But laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.” - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Samuel Kercheval, July 12, 1816.

Reverend Steve Clunn, an ordained minister with the United Methodist Church, showed up in favor of same-sex marriage and wore a multi-colored stole that resembled the rainbow flags symbolic of gay rights.

Mr. Clunn said he opposed same-sex marriage for several years before meeting gay and lesbian pastors and re-examining his views on the issue in the late 1980s. He now believes the Bible preaches “love and inclusion.”

“The more I listened to others and looked at what I was believing about the Bible and what the church should be doing, the more I realized I was wrong.”

To the boy in the picture:  You are one sad mother fucker, misleading people just to become internet famous.  You vilified this young lady for your own, stupid ego.

Fuck you, kid.

Also, it’s homophobe, if used as a noun, or homophobic if you’re using it as an adjective, as you are.  Learn2troll.

people who dont support gay marriage are crazy

People only take from holy text what is convenient for them to take.  I’m guessing this guy hasn’t even read the whole book.
