"South Africa’s High Court in Pretoria ruled that the Dutch Reformed Church may not exclude certain members of the church from the full and equal enjoyment of the rights and freedoms offered to all of its members." "This would include allowing “marriage” for same-sex couples."

Hmmm, that kinda gives the term "Go to hell" a whole new meaning...

2015, the Dutch Reformed Church — a conservative Protestant denomination which has been in South Africa for centuries — allowed individual church councils to decide whether or not to recognize same-sex unions as “marriages.” The church also decided then to allow professing homosexuals to serve as ministers of the Gospel.

However, when the church decided to adopt a new policy and return to Christian principles against the liking of LGBTQ activists, Rev. Laurie Gaum and his father Rev. Dr. Fritz Gaum joined other members of the denomination to sue in court to have the church’s decision declared unconstitutional. Homosexuals may again be “married” by the Dutch Reformed Church and also serve as ministers.
