You'd think that lesbians would know that churches don't look so kindly at homosexuality, and would choose to take their memorials (and money) elsewhere. What makes America so great is the fact that you can start your own lesbian funeral home that buries whomever you'd please.seerclearly writes:
These comments are both ignorant and nauseating. YES indeed, the church has a long history of having its values "go out the window" when money is concerned, go read up on "indulgences." And for those of you busily judging your fellow citizens for being sinful, ask yourself, do you not deserves to worship God and receive His blessing despite YOUR sins? These women felt that they wanted a ceremony according to their beliefs - why would God not want to consummate that need? It's only the humans and their rotten church that corrupt the true and unconditional love of Christ with this sort of hateful judgement and separation. You should be ashamed of yourselves for glorifying the church and its corrupt dogma over the ecstatic beauty of the love of God that this couple was trying to express.
