Sweden's Lutheran Church Allows Gay Marriage!

This is so huge. November 1st will be an important day in history. It's the day where the first church will perform gay marriage for the first time. Lutherans, of course. (For those who don't know me I figh for gay right, so this is big, and I really admire Martin Luther.) I am so happy right now I think I could explode. Way to go!
The news is available at BBC.com.
More details. 70% of the church board voted for the move. If an individual preast doesn't wish to perform the ceremony, he won't be forced to, but the church will have to found a substitute.
"[We] congratulate the Church of Sweden for its decision. [The church's] homosexual and
bisexual members will finally be able to feel a little more welcome within society," said Sweden's largest gay rights group, the Swedish Federation for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Rights (RFSL).
Kisses and three cheers for freedom!
