in particular, the American Friends Service Committee rules.

edit: But, we should really be calling it "marriage equality".

7. Go Quakers! Beat Homophobes!
But, of course, beat them in a pacifistic way.

8. K and R
I find it disturbing, however, that Nixon is often listed as a Quaker.

9. I remember when the Quakers became disturbed
by his behavior during the Viet Nam war. They asked him not to keep mentioning that he was a Quaker, given his continuation of that war.

10. Somebody made a sign. Why not make a sign that says:
Neocons support same sex marriages?

16. One can make a sign that says all DUers support s.s.m but that's probably not true.
Anyone can make a sign so if it makes this many headlines, have some fun with it.

13. Quakers are HORRIBLE PEOPLE just like all other Christians!!!
(or so say a few DUers who don't know the difference between a good Christian and a bad one)

19. Awesome. :)
I also know the United Church of Canada (the biggest Protestant denomination in Canada) supports same-sex marriage. I, in fact, have a lovely openly queer friend who is studying to be a United Church minister, and I know she'll do an excellent job. :)
