A victory for same-sex marriage in D.C.

The D.C. Council voted yesterday to approve same-sex marriage in the nation’s capital, bringing the measure one step closer to becoming law. Gay and lesbian activists, joined by a coalition of black religious leaders, claimed the 11-2 vote as a long-fought victory of marriage equality and civil rights.

Meanwhile, a group of opposing black preachers said that only Congress or the courts can thwart efforts to legalize same- sex marriage. They say that such marriages go against the word of God that declares that the sacred union outlined in the Bible is between a man and woman.

I’m in the process of blogging about this subject but wanted to stop and get your thoughts.

My lasting image of marriage

About Yvonne Shinhoster Lamb

This is an act of faith for me. I am stepping out into unfamiliar territory, not sure what’s ahead or where this path will lead. But, detours and all, I’m looking forward to the journey.

But that’s what faith is about, isn’t it? It is about moving forward in life with a belief that allows one to act or not act beyond one’s own limited understanding or abilities.
As a journalist for more than 30 years, I placed a lot of trust in facts, but I also learned that facts alone don’t tell the whole story.

As a wife and mother, my faith, even at its weakest, made a big difference in my home. For me, a faith-filled life anchored in a sovereign God is an adventurous and exciting one: so much to discover, so much unchartered territory to traverse.
