The United Methodist church may be in for some fireworks in California; some active and many retired pastors are defying the church's contradictory laws to perform gay marriages. Though these pastors may be asking to lose their jobs, they seem resigned to it. Kind of an ironic slogan...

Defenders of gay marriage say they want to compel the 11-million-member denomination to live up to its slogan -- "Open hearts. Open minds. Open doors."

"I'm tired of being part of a church that lacks integrity," said the Rev. Janet Gollery McKeithen of Santa Monica's Church in Ocean Park, who plans to conduct weddings for two gay couples in August and September. "I love my church, and I don't want to leave it. But I can't be part of a church that is willing to portray a God that is so hateful. I would rather be forced out."
