For better or worse, a lot has happened in the past year affecting same-sex marriage legislation. Unfortunately, much of the opposition finds strength from religious fanatics who believe denying gay couples the right to marry preserves the sanctity of the institution. To help dispel that hogwash, William Way Center's "Out and Faithful" committee has invited the Rev. Christopher Glaser, author of As My Own Soul: The Blessing of Same-Gender Marriage (Seabury, $20), to speak at its second annual interfaith breakfast. Glaser will discuss how the LGBTQ spiritual community can initiate progress from its own congregations, as well as present his research on the origins of marriage, which shows that the ceremony didn't involve God in the first place. "Once people understand the history of marriage," he says, "they will find it more agreeable to bestow this blessing on same-gender couples."
