Not Every Christian in San Diego is Against Us
Local Clergy Ask State To Support Same-Sex Marriage
More than two dozen San Diego clergy members who support same-sex marriage have signed a brief asking the state Supreme Court to overturn California’s ban, it was reported Thursday.
. . .
The announcement came a week after San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders reversed his stand and backed the city Council’s vote to join several other California cities in signing a friend-of-the-court brief asking the state high court to reverse California’s ban on same-sex marriage.
. . .
The issue is particularly divisive in religious communities because some view homosexuality as sinful. The Roman Catholic Church, Southern Baptist Convention and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were among supporters of a successful campaign in 2000 barring homosexual marriages.
