Over the weekend, a meeting of 700 Episcopalians at a Reston, Virginia, Hyatt hotel agreed that the diocese needed to take steps toward including gay and lesbian relationships into church doctrine, resolving that relationships ought to be "characterized by fidelity, monogamy, mutual affection and respect, careful, honest communication and the holy love which enables those in such relationships to see in each other the image of God."Translation: The diocese is considering allowing gay and lesbian marriages.
One of the major arguments of anti-marriage equality folks is that it would force religious institutions to marry gays and lesbians.
