Another Good Step Forward

I'm heartened to see that My Episcopalian leaders have voted to elect the first openly gay bishop. I get the feeling that people will look back on the summer of 2003 and call it "The Gay Summer of 2003" with everything that's happened from the Supreme Court's ruling that strikes down sodomy laws to the legalization of same-sex marriages in Canada to the gay-themed television shows that have appeared on the scene (mostly Bravo! and NBC) this season. It's a good thing.
