Anglican Church to Let Gay Priests Marry

The Church of England has allowed homosexual priests to marry--so long as they pledge not to have sex. This curious arrangement is an attempt to satisfy church doctrine against allowing sex outside of full marriage, while still allowing priests to obtain the newly legalized civil partnership available in England. The Lesbian and Gay Christian Movement estimates that 1,500 homosexual Anglican clergy will have exercised this right by 2010, and the decision is expected to re-ignite the divisive internal debate within the world-wide Anglican church over the issue of gay marriage.
