Wait, Ralph Reed is still a thing?

Apparently so, and he now wants the federal government to stop offering funds to the National Cathedral over its recent decision to perform same-sex marriages, reports Right Wing Watch:

Ralph Reed’s Faith and Freedom Coalition wants the federal government to end its “Save America’s Treasures Grants” to the National Cathedral because the church decided to perform same-sex marriages. While same-sex marriage is legal in Washington D.C., where the historic Episcopal church is located, the FFC claims that the cathedral is undermining the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) and therefore should not receive federal money “until such time that it ceases the practice of homosexual ‘marriage’ certification.”

“Taxpayers are being asked to subsidize gay marriage ceremonies,” the FFC writes, “Pro-family and Pro-freedom Americans will not sit idly by as the government attempts to change the Biblical definition of marriage.”

According to the National Cathedral’s website, it received a $700,000 grant from the Department of Interior in 2011. The majority of its funding, though, comes from private sources and members. It is still struggling to raise the $20 million it will need to repair the damage from the 2011 earthquake.
