Ten happy couples walked down the aisle at UNMC on March 9, the first day when same-sex couples could legally wed in Washington, DC, after being married by their minister, the Rev. Liz Lerner of the UU Church of Silver Spring. To see local news coverage, with lots of smiles and applause, visit Gay Couples from Maryland Marry in DC.
Hundreds of UUCSS members and friends -- including many young children dressed in their finest to witness history being made -- attended the weddings and enjoyed a reception in Perkins Hall, which was packed to capacity. UUCSS is UNMC's "daughter" church, having been planted more than 50 years ago by UNMC members who wanted to take Universalism's message of God's all-encompassing love to the growing Washington suburbs.
