In another first—a history-making moment that will forever serve as a signpost along the road to Christianity's rapid decline in America—the Rev. Cameron Partridge will preach in the name of Jesus at the Washington National Cathedral on June 22.

It's historic because Partridge is the first-ever openly transgender priest to step onto the platform. Of course, his preaching debut at the historic cathedral aims to honor LGBT Pride Month. It doesn't surprise me when Lucky Charms marks LGBT Pride Month with a #LucktyToBe campaign or when Hilton Hotels invites travelers to take part in the gay celebration, but the Washington National Cathedral? Yes, it's telling indeed.

So when have social conservatives ever been on the "right" side of history?

There is rarely ever a right and wrong side of history. Only a winning and a losing side.

The churches are running out of people to call evil and compare to in order to feel smug.

Why cant they see criminals as that?
Their is one church that I know of that preaches god also wants us to obey the law of the land.

I truly wish I could be in Washington D.C. for Cameron's appearance there, along with Bishop. Gene Robinson (the firstopenly gay Bishop in the Episcopal Church.)  As a point of actual HISTORY, the Episcopal Church was an important instrument in the foundation of the United States.  Old North Church made famous in The Ride Of Paul Revere fame of the American Revolution was an Episcopal Church, and according to the British at the time, it was on the wrong side, but that is history.  The National Cathedral (aka The Cathedral Of Sts. Peter and Paul) is actually an Episcopal Church holding, in trust for the people of the U.S. and where clergy of other faiths are welcome to preach on other occasions.  The National Cathedral has weathered a lot of controversy over its life, and has watched as the U.S. has gained strengths in Justice and Peace for its citizens, but for all citizens, and not just the ones who give themselves the office of self appointed busy body with no sense of history to speak of.
