Priest in Union by =digitalgrace - robinism suggested me this photo and wrote the following words: "I want to say so much about it, but yet I know whatever I write will not do this photograph any justice! For some reason this photograph touches me in many ways - a personal way and I am not sure even why. I have tried to think of the right thing to say but I cannot describe it in words. I just know how it makes ME feel. I even asked a couple of people to help me, to maybe come up with something eloquent or profound... While they offered wonderful suggestions, it didn't sound like something I wrote and from my heart. SO, all I hope is that people will look at this photo, read the story and that they can see some of what I've seen in it."

Description

Father John Joseph Reid and Father Lawrence Turner are Catholic priest that fell in love with each other and married in Massachusetts. They now preside over the New Devine Mercy Catholic Communities. The opening statement of their website is listed below.

In imitation of Jesus Christ, we welcome all people to worship and celebrate God's all-inclusive love with us. Whoever you are, where ever you are in your life, we thank you for choosing to be here with us today. Our Mission: To Extend God's Kingdom of Justice, Truth, Love and Peace. [link]

More than 1,000 people attended a rally at Fort Lauderdale City Hall protesting the passage of Amendment 2 in Florida and Proposition 8 in California, which discriminates against LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender/transsexual ) people in The United States of America.

The protests were part of the “Join the Impact” [link] campaign to have a synchronized reaction of outrage across the country because of the passage of laws in Arizona, California and Florida defining marriage as an institution between a man and a woman only.

Proposition 8 in California and Amendment 2 in Florida have become a symbol of the struggle for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender rights. It is also argued the laws will restrict rights to heterosexuals who are domestic partners and not married.
