The founder, Meg Soens, is a vocal lesbian activist in town.
You ain't kidding. Here's the write up on Ms. Soens from the MassNews site.
Who is Meg Soens?
The following capsule about Meg Soens is from the Unitarian Church during a campaign they called "Marry Week Honors Loving UU Same Sex Couples":
Celia dOliveira and Meg Soens, Lexington, Massachusetts
"Meg Soens and Celia dOliveira were among the Massachusetts same sex couples who applied for their marriage license on May 17, 2004. They were married in a small family ceremony in May, and had a larger wedding celebration in a UU church for their family and friends in October. Meg Soens writes, It has been amazingly, surprisingly affirming to get married. After 17 years together and four children, Celia and I saw joy and pride in our relationship reflected in our families faces when we took our vows. All together, and publicly, they told us through their presence and their words, we love you, both of you, and honor your commitment to each other.
Soens continued, Until we got married it seemed like we were on weak ground, that at any time a tremor could turn the modest fissures between where my family stood and where our straight friends and neighbors stood, into an unbridgeable chasm. Now, no matter what happens, whatever else the federal government does to try to shame us or deny our basic unity as a family, we feel inextricably connected to the world of our friends. In my deep hearts core I know we stand on the same ground.
