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.

Sick bastards.
These are the type that keep posting online that China is now morally superior to the United States.
My cousin was an atheist.
Which wasn’t remarkable in itself except he had a Ph.D. from the Harvard Divinity School and was a minister in Unitarian Universalist church.
That’s cognitive dissonance so strong that it warps the space time continuum.
Nantucket is a weird place anyway. The level of drug & alcohol abuse is unbelievable so this minister and her virtue signaling nonsense fits right in.
Unitarian Universalist
A Unitarian Universalist thinking with her urethra.
But I thought Muslims & black slaves helped build this country, obviously starting in 1619. How dare she give credit to only the whites??!? /s
OH NO, anyway
There’s no such thing as a “lesbian minister”.
L
When the Fourth of July celebrations continue It will EXPLODE ,LOL
“Second Congregational Meeting House Society, Unitarian Universalist church”
Seriously??? If your church has this many names what do you expect?
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.” This story isn’t real...is it?
Splaine eventually moved off-island for college. After graduating, she decided to move to Washington, D.C. to work in politics, a stint that was short-lived.
“That was great, but it was like, ‘What am I doing with my life’?” She said.
Unitarian church ... As young lads we would go there to get picked up by divorced chicks ...
The USS Constitution’s going to be firing the cannons>
