Lesbian Minister Cancels July 4 Celebrations In Political Protest

A lesbian minister in Nantucket, Massachusetts, is canceling her church’s annual Fourth of July celebrations in an act of political protest apparently against the country’s — as well as her own congregation’s — “whiteness.”

Rev. Erin Splaine announced to her community Thursday that the Second Congregational Meeting House Society, Unitarian Universalist church would be canceling its customary July 4th celebrations, which include a public reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights.

“We came to this decision in large measure because of the recent gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act by the Supreme Court,” Splaine wrote in a letter to the Nantucket Current. She was referring to the 2026 Louisiana v. Callais case that declared racial gerrymandering unconstitutional.

Slaine claimed that white people experience the “Rights and Privileges” enshrined in the founding documents in a manner “tragically, often violently, and unequally applied to fellow citizens who are not white.”

Such injustice, Slaine argued, means celebrating America’s history “without context … perpetuates the harm, injustice, and anti-democratic process,” she wrote in part.

The Nantucket Unitarian Universalist church is marked as an “LGBTQ Welcoming Congregation” on the Unitarian Universalist Association’s (UUA) website, meaning the church completed a UUA Welcoming Congregation Program and is “intentionally more inclusive towards bisexual, gay, lesbian, and transgender people.”

Splaine graduated from Harvard Divinity School and has a wife, according to the church’s website.

What do you get when you cross a Unitarian Universalist with a Jehovah’s Witness?

Someone knocking on your door for no apparent reason.

1. She isnt a real pastor/minister. Never will be.

2. She blatantly hates the people she supposedly cares for.

Nantucket Unitarian Universalist church ... A “Church” for Agnostics and Reformed Jews. They pray “To whom it may concern....”

Dang - Beat me to it. I was trying to come up with a cleaner last line. Yours is better than where I was heading anyway.

Have you noticed that many lesbians look exactly alike? From the hair do to their costume to their shoes. Like cookie cutter commies. We would recognize it better if they all wore Mao tunics.

Unitarians don’t have a church. They have a social hall.

The lesbian has decided that white folks cant make the educated decision on their own?

“Rights and Privileges”

Lesbian instruction on how to raise responsible childeren will be ignored. GEEEEZ!
