(CNN Aug 21, 2002) -- The New York Times has announced that it will begin to publish reports of same-sex commitment ceremonies in its Sunday Style section.

The New York Times has decided to publish announcements of homosexual marriages in its wedding section. John Ydstie talks to Harlan Pruden, project coordinator at Speak OUT!, a public policy program at the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in New York. Pruden says the paper's decision is a step in the right direction.

Gentle Ministries would like to go on record stating that we do not agree.

Here's why...

Romans 1:24-31
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Furthermore... Romans 1:32
Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Comments?

The Boston Globe has joined the New York Times in deciding to publish announcements for homosexual marriages. We disagree with their decision for the same reasons.
