Smart guys in NC…

Well…wanted to get to the last one for the month and one fell into my lap…and it really make me smile…in NC this week a group of religious organizations backed by the UCC (United Church of Christ) filed suit to overturn the ban on same sex marriage there…and the really neat little twist is that they are basing it on religious grounds…the same weapon that the haters on the right have been using to prevent these marriages until now. What the UCC is saying is that their right to practice their religion and run it as they see fit is being restricted by the ban on same sex marriages there and are using the first amendment that states that there can be no laws that restrict the free exercise of religion to hit back at the haters since the UCC says that it is okay in their church for same sex couples to get married. I applaud these creative people and the turnabout that they have played on the right….I just hope that the judge that gets the case sees it as clear as it it…
