Universal Rainbow Faith (URF) – Official Doctrine on Sacred Marriage

Preamble

​

In the Universal Rainbow Faith (URF), marriage is a sacred covenant that reflects the divine unity between souls. Love, in all its pure forms, is a spiritual force of creation and harmony. We affirm that all marriages—regardless of gender, sex, or orientation—are equal in the eyes of the divine and must be recognized with full spiritual and legal authority.

It is a core religious tenet of URF that marriage is a holy sacrament for all people, and denying marriage to anyone based on gender or orientation violates the sacred laws of our faith.

 

1. Definition of Sacred Marriage in URF

  • Marriage is a spiritually binding union between consenting individuals, based on love and commitment.

  • All gender identities and sexual orientations are divinely recognized.

  • There are no gender restrictions on marriage. The sacredness of the bond transcends physical form.

✅ Denying or restricting marriage for LGBTQ+ individuals violates URF’s religious principles.

 

2. Legal Authority of URF Ministers to Perform Marriages

  • URF clergy and ordained ministers are authorized to perform legally binding marriages.

  • URF marriages must be respected by all government authorities as religious ceremonies protected under the First Amendment and Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA).

  • If any state or institution refuses to recognize a URF-performed marriage, it is religious discrimination under federal law.

✅ All marriages performed by URF clergy must be legally recognized, even in states that attempt to ban same-sex marriage.

 

3. Religious Freedom & Protection Against Marriage Discrimination

 

Because marriage is a religious sacrament in URF, refusing to recognize an LGBTQ+ marriage would be:
✅ A violation of the couple’s religious rights
✅ A direct infringement on URF’s faith-based beliefs
✅ Unconstitutional under religious freedom laws

 

Legal Application

  • Government entities (states, counties, or clerks) must recognize same-sex URF marriages as protected religious ceremonies.

  • Employers, insurance providers, and legal institutions must honor URF marriages regardless of state laws on same-sex marriage.

  • Businesses (such as bakers, venues, or florists) cannot refuse service to a URF wedding without committing religious discrimination.

✅ This would prevent future bans on same-sex marriage, as it would be classified as a religious right.

 

4. Rights of URF Members & Marriage Equality

​

  • URF members have the right to be married by URF clergy.

  • URF marriages must be respected by all legal authorities as religious ceremonies.

  • Denying an LGBTQ+ couple’s right to marry is an attack on URF’s sacred doctrine and a form of religious persecution.

🔥 If any government agency, state, or institution denies a URF marriage, URF will take legal action under RFRA to defend religious freedom.

 

5. URF Marriage Blessing Ceremony (Optional Religious Practice)

​

To further solidify the sacred nature of LGBTQ+ marriages, URF may establish:
💍 A sacred marriage rite performed by URF ministers.
📜 Official religious marriage certificates issued by the church.
🏳️‍🌈 Annual LGBTQ+ religious wedding festivals as sacred observances.
