Religion and LGBTQ Rights: A Live Debate
Captions available
The idea
U.S. denominations are internally divided over recognizing same-sex relationships and LGBTQ clergy, ranging from full inclusion to prohibition inside the same broad tradition.
In practice
Some denominations authorize clergy to perform same-sex marriages while other leaders in the same tradition oppose it and face discipline.
Where people slip
Per this course's neutrality convention, this entry reports the internal division without resolving which reading of scripture is correct.
