Conservative Jews OK Gay Weddings

I love when this sort of item arrives via Fox News:
The Conservative branch of American Judaism has formally approved gay marriage ceremonies. The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards decided the issue in a 13-0 vote Thursday with one abstention. The panel of legal scholars developed two styles of ceremony that can be used as a guide for a rabbi marrying a same-sex couple. The committee also issued a guide to gay divorce. Conservative Jews first signaled official acceptance of same-sex relationships in 2006 by lifting the ban on ordaining gays and lesbians.
