NPR Radio: Tennessee Freemasons Oust Married Gay Couple

[Bloke]

This is a grand example of how jdmadsen has a different belief, yet Freemasonry unites diverse people. Once this difference might have been Loyalist vrs Republican, Catholic against Protestant, Trade Unionist against Capitalist, Black vrs White, Muslim vrs Christian, Socialist vrs Tory, English vrs French - all of which should be meaningless once we step into lodge as brothers.... and hopefully outside as well, or at least building understanding and tolerance between groups with opposed views.

One of the reasons I love the Craft. One of the reasons not talking religion or politics was a great early rule which has served us and mankind well. Sometimes, you need to just leave things alone..

@Bloke you are correct. Am i gonna not sit in lodge cause there is a Gay man as a member....nope Ill sit right next to him shake his hand and call him brother. My personal beliefe has nothing to do with who ill sit in lodge with. IF the GL says its ok then the GL says it ok, if they forbid it they forbid it. in my OB i swore to keep the S****** of a bro as my own with 2 exceptions. being gay was not one of them. So if the GL says being gay is a nogo and i know that a bro is gay, it is my obligation to keep that a secret.
