Good to mention. I have to admit, I *almost* posted without reading the full article, and completely changed my opinion after having read. It’s also worth noting to drive-by readers (myself one of them) that this church only became objected to the service when they were faced with hosting the event while having zero control over the services, and that the images that were to be presented were basically a glorification of the homosexuality of the deceased.
Once they are dead, do they continue to be homosexual?
It is very sobering to read multiple versions of a LW&T and watch the final document be created. You really see the thought processes of the deceased.
I never withheld any part of a LW&T, even through discussions of undying love to a life partner. Or multiple partners.
However, there were certain docs and pictures that were just too corrupt to recover, IYKWIM.
************ That is what is going on here. The church reached out to an employees family, and was burned by the direction the service went.
A church will donate their facilities for a wedding, but still has the right to restrict the weddings that take place, and the activities at the wedding. If they do not allow dancing, even Daddy-daughter dances, then you will have to find a new hall for the reception.
Now in Great Britian or in Canada ...
