A small United Methodist church in North Carolina said it will not host weddings for heterosexual couples until the rest of the Protestant denomination ends its ban on same-sex marriage, an unusual step in the traditionally conservative U.S. South.
The decision by leaders at Green Street United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem appears to be a first for the denomination in the U.S. South, said Tim Sturgis, who sits on the 18-member leadership council that unanimously endorsed the marriage statement announced by the church this week.

Gays say this is about the right to love one another.

              The definition of love, as per the gay community, is sex
  of course, this is not a question about love as defined in the
  Bible.
  Unfortunately some churches have bought into this notion and
  some of them have gone to the extreme.
  There is no Biblical support for any of these decisions and
  someday somebody's going to have to stand up and justify
  these actions. And the question goes on, what about the church
  members who allow this to happen and do not stand up against
  it?

 For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will accumulate teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new. They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.
