Day 198 of 365, Utah Wedding Officiant
Day 198 of 365, Utah Wedding Officiant

Day 198 of 365
I got ordained today. I can legally perform weddings in Utah, really! I was ordained many years ago, maybe around 2003 or so, then I let it fall to the wayside. I never performed any marriages. So, I thought I would see if the site where I got ordained was still around. Lo and behold, they were! The Universal Life Church Monastery offers free ordination to anyone, and depending on the local laws of your state or country you can legally perform marriages, handfastings and other ceremonies, rites, baptisms, anointings, you name it. They are not affiliated with any religion. I am not a religious person myself. I believe in their philosophy, as their website says, “We are all children of the same universe”.
I am willing to provide legal officiant services to anyone, including: LGBTQ couples, Athiests, Pagans, Wiccans, Druids, Agnostics, Naturalists, Humanists, Christians, non-Christians, anyone, whether you are religious or not, I can legally officiate your marriage in Utah. All you need to do is obtain a valid Utah marriage license issued from a Clerk’s office anywhere in Utah (good for 30 days), and find an ordained minister (me) age 18 or older to perform the marriage ceremony.
I will work with you to create the perfect ceremony. Exactly as you want it. Your words or mine, no barriers. Anything you want as long as we are not breaking any laws, no kidding, anything, except skydiving, I can’t do skydiving.

The legislation stops far short of authorizing gay marriage, which was passed last year in predominantly Catholic Ireland and was legalized as well across the United States. Last-minute changes removed references to “faithfulness” in the relationship lest …

This Court Just Gave A Catholic Church Its Blessing To Discriminate Against Gay People
Whether or not it was okay to mislead a gay married employee that her job was secure is apparently a theological question.

HRC Mississippi Meets with Local Gay Straight Alliance to Empower LGBTQ and Allied Youth
HRC Mississippi Meets with Local Gay Straight Alliance to Empower LGBTQ and Allied Youth
Earlier this month, HRC Mississippi Faith Organizer Daniel Ball and I had the privilege of speaking with Clinton High School’s Gay Straight Alliance (GSA) organization.
Clinton High, which is located in Clinton, Mississippi, is the alma mater of HRC supporter Lance Bass.
An overwhelming 100 students showed up for the meeting, all of whom were extremely engaged and interested in the issues. They asked questions about anti-LGBT bills and our work in Mississippi.
Additionally, several students asked very practical questions about coming out and family support and acceptance.
Needless to say, we were overwhelmed and touched by the experience. We left the school that day excited about the future of our state with young people like these leading the way.
As young people push to attain the goals of the LGBTQ community in schools and on their campuses, HRC is working to provide tools, facilitate connections with other LGBT student activists across the country and empower youth to fight for LGBT equality on campus and beyond.
HRC Mississippi is proud to be a part of this work. To learn more about our work in the Magnolia state, click here.

Turkish governments have long been the sworn enemy of the Kurds – including their own citizens. They have bombed them and silenced them, or tried to. The Kurds get in the way of the Turkish elite’s Ottoman delusions – as does of Assad in Syria. That’s why …
