We thought you'd find this list useful. It's signers of the "Religious Freedom to Marry Coalition" declaration. First, there's a list of so-called "religious" leaders who signed. This includes "ministers", "priests", and "rabbis". (Updated in August 2005.) Denominations include American Baptist, Episcopal, Jewish, Congregational Church, Metropolitan Community Church, Pagan (almost as many as Episcopalian!), Swedenborgian Church, Unitarian Universalist, United Church of Christ, United Methodist.
Here's an excerpt from the declaration:
MASSACHUSETTS DECLARATION OF RELIGIOUS SUPPORT FOR THE FREEDOM OF SAME-GENDER COUPLES TO MARRY
The most fundamental human right, after the necessities of food, clothing and shelter, is the right to affection and the supportive love of other human beings. We become most fully human when we love another person. We can grow in our capacity to be human -- to be loving -- in a family unit. This right to love and to form a family is so fundamental that our Constitution takes it for granted in its dedication to "secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity"; our Declaration of Independence likewise affirms the essential right of human beings to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
Throughout history, tyrants have known that by denying the right of oppressed peoples to form and nurture families, they can kill the spirit of those peoples....
As religious people, clergy, and leaders, we are mandated to stand for justice in our common civic life. We oppose appeals to sacred texts and religious traditions for the purpose of denying legal equity to same-gender couples. As concerned citizens, we affirm the liberty of adults of the same gender to love and marry. We insist that no one, especially the state, may either coerce people into marriage, or bar two consenting adults of the same gender from forming the family unit that lets them be more fully loving, thus more fully human....
Possibly more interesting is the list of your neighbors who signed in support of homosexual "marriage". This was called "the Roman Catholic Marriage Equality petition". Such heretical nonsense ...
We'll call it a "gay terrorist watch list". You can search this list by town, and find out if that person down the street (who seems to be everywhere -- soccer games, town meetings, school fundraisers, "anti-bias committees", school committee meetings, PTA boards) has a hidden agenda.
Needless to say, there are many "super-activists" who do not appear on this list. But you will see some leading lights, like Larry Kessler of the AIDS Action Committee of Mass. (publishers of the lie-filled, pornographic Little Black Book).
