United Church of Christ, and recently joined by the Jewish Reform movement2, will perform marriage ceremonies for gays.
             In Genesis 19:1-25we find the story of Sodom and Gomorah. It is this story which is used most often when people speak against homosexuality. We are told that God informs Abraham that he is going to destroy the cities of Sodom and Gemorrah. Abraham tries to plead with God to save Sodom but he only agrees to save his nephew Lot and his family. Two angels go to Sodom to warn Lot of its impending destruction. After Lot invites them in, a crowd of men shows up at his house and demands to see the angels so that they "...may know them."3 This has been interpreted to mean have sex with them. Lot goes outside to discourage them and instead offers them his virgin daughters. They refuse the girls and become aggressive for the men, then the angels save Lot and blind the crowd of men. The angels then tell Lot to get his family and to get out of town. As soon as they left Sodom, God burned the cities to the ground.
