RE: Have they had ‘gay marriages’ performed there yet or is it still pending? That would be one heck of a scheduling snafu.

Yep. Despite its name, the Washington National Cathedral is not an official U.S. government church, which is prohibited by the Constitution. However, the Episcopal church, which is funded by private donations, does possess important symbolic value and regularly hosts official events, such as presidential inaugurations and funerals.

So the stupidity is with the Episcopal Church. But we already knew that. They were the first to ordain gay bishops.

Last January or so they said it would be six months or a year before they had actual ‘gay marriage’ ceremonies, so you’re saying they have had them there? I looked briefly but couldn’t find anything. Is that where Ginsberg officiated a ‘gay marriage?’
