Looks like the Lutherans are going to stop punishing pastors for performing same-sex weddings, even though official doctrine will remain opposed. (I have a bi ex-girlfriend who is a Lutheran minister; I think she'll be pleased).
Not a humongous victory, to be sure. But consider where society was 30 years ago on gay issues. Consider opinion polls showing not only increasing tolerance over time but also a huge disparity between old folks (anti-gay) and young folks (not). May not be much consolation to families like Zoe's, who need legal protection now, but history is moving in the right direction.
