United Methodists repeal longstanding ban on LGBTQ clergy

United Methodist delegates have repealed their church’s longstanding ban on LGBTQ clergy with no debate.

It's been a long time coming, and I am rejoicing!

Bout time

And on performing same sex weddings! A Methodist pastor friend texted the group chat early today with the news and it was the best news.

Hallelujah.

The Methodist Church near my work has been flying a Pride flag for *years*– I bet they're celebrating today!

Many in our area are restructuring to *keep* the ban. One of them has a minister and their son who both have Grindr accounts.

My dad was a Methodist minister. He would have absolutely loved this.

Oh my goodness. My parents must be in a real bad state today. 😁
