Gainesville Monthly Meeting supports loving and committed relationships independent of the sexual orientation of the individuals involved. Friends' process for the Ceremony of Commitment/Marriage is open to all members and regular attenders.
According to Quaker tradition, a couple is married by God rather than by the state; however the Ceremony of Commitment is a legal marriage if the licensing requirements of Florida Statute Title XLII, Chapter 741 have been met.
To learn more about the Ceremony of Commitment, see the Southeastern Yearly Meeting Faith and Practice or speak with a member of the Ministry and Nurture Committee of Gainesville Friends Meeting.
