Two prominent lesbian activists were reportedly "married" Saturday afternoon during a service performed in Caldwell Chapel of Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Dean K. Thompson, president of the seminary, told The Layman Online on Monday that he did not know whether the couple were actually married or whether it was a "union" service, but that, in either event, the seminary forbids discrimination that would limit the use of the chapel.

"I do know that a same-sex union service was requested," Thompson said. "We did not sanction the service. That's the responsibility of the denominations and the officiants."

The Layman Online was unable to reach the participants in the "wedding" or "union" service, which was conducted the same day the seminary hosted an all-day retreat for people interested in effective youth ministry. the rest
