Thanks for the clarification, ES. And I agree that it's futile to attempt to force change on religious bodies. There are "affirming congregations" out there who are willing to bless gay unions, even if they can't legally call them marriages. If I were predisposed to church attendance, I would definitely vote with my feet and join a more welcoming church rather than stick around at a hostile one.
