- Two articles caught my eye in the Sunday New York Times of 11/15
- (in addition to their lead editorial supporting Clinton ending the ban on
- gays in the military):
-
- 1) Two top officials of Gov. William F. Weld's administration (in
- Masachusetts) have publicly acknowledged that they are a homosexual
- couple and say growing support for gay rights caused them to speak
- out.
-
- The two officials -- Kevin M. Smith, Commissioner of the state's
- Division of Capital Planning and Operations, and Michael L. Adams,
- the Governor's Revenue Commissioner -- disclosed their relationship
- in an interview published today in The Boston Globe, saying that
- they shared a home in the Boston suburb of Dedham.
-
- 2) And some not so good news:
-
- After more that a decade of trying, a church composed mostly of gay
- and lesbian congregants has again been rejected in its bid to
- establish ties with the National Council of Churches, the
- nation's largest eceumenical organization.
-
- In a 90-81 vote on Thursday at its annual convention in Cleveland,
- the top policy-making body of the National Council of Churches chose
- not to grant observer status to the church, the Universal Fellowship
- of Metropolitan Churches, a denomination that has 50,000 members in
- 264 congregations around the country.
