Excuse me but the pastor told them ahead of time if they wanted him to officiate the funeral in his church, the same sex relationship could not be celebrated. Those who hired him did not honor that. If the family was not happy with the agreement, they could have sought someone else to do the service. They did not. If they wanted the same sex relationship highlighted in the service, they should have chose someone that was willing to do so.Who cares if they couldn't come up with a name of a pastor. If he did not want them to celebrate her life he should not have agreed to perform the funeral in the first place. To interrupt it mid-stream again shows a cruelty not befitting a minister. You can say the family agreed to certain conditions all you want but even they probably could not control the situation. If you have a funeral for someone in our culture that is supposed to be a celebration of their life. You cannot celebrate someones life without showing them in their happiest moments. I don't know about you but my happiest moments include my wife. To celebrate my life is to celebrate my life with her. Any pastor worth **** would know that and would know there is now way anyone could honor such an onerous condition as he applied.
