I wonder if a homosexual couple has ever been married in the church.
I know about the catholic church's views on gay marriage (I was raised catholic). I was just thinking about how centuries ago (and even today) the church has been subject to corruption (crusades and the such). I mean, at one point the pope was having kids so he would have successors even though the church doesn't allow priests (and yes, the pope is a priest) to get married or have kids! Another time, the church was selling "tickets to heaven."
So (and I'm not saying same-sex marriage is corrupt, as a matter of fact, I'm 210% for it), I wonder if some king somewhere fell in love with a guy and had enough power to get the church to allow them to marry or something.
I looked it up, but all I got was a bunch of people trying to make the church's homophobic views seem okay.
I don't know, I was just curious. -
60 years ago churches would turn couples away if they weren't the same race. Some churches are already pro homosexuality. Several states have legalized it. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see a gay couple getting married in a church.
In fact:

As awesome as that is (and holy s---, the way they were looking at each other, I'm gonna cry omfg) I was thinking more towards the Catholic Church. It just seems like they've been around the longest and with all the corruption that went on during the medieval period in the church, whose to say that some prince or something didn't influence the pope enough to let him marry a man?
And then Catholics wouldn't be able to say that gay marriage is wrong because they've already had it in their church.
Maybe this came about from my grandpa's lecture on my sexuality earlier...
