David Weekley, 58,A regular Reverend from Portland, Oregon gives a sermon of a lifetime. The sermon included that the Rev. was transgendered. He said the speech took more than a half century to write. This must have meant alot, considering it took him most of his life to write this, and to come out in front of more than 200 people is a big deal.Rev. David Weekley was born a girl.Weekley is only the 2nd transgender methodist minister. After reciting his speech the congregration burst into applause. Weekley was not worried about the congregation as much as the global Methodist Church. THere is nothing in the "Book of Discipline" of which Methodist's base their religion, that says their cannot be a transgender member of the clergy. But it does say in the Book of discipline that same sex marriage should not be allowed.Weekley has been married to his wife Deborah for thirteen years. They have five children, three from a wife's previous marriage..two adopted. I'm kind of confused. If he was born a girl doesn't that necessarily mean it's same- sex marriage..or is it different if he got a sex change? Not sure about that one. David wouldn't tell his birth name but says he was born in Cleveland.Ever since David was small girl he was he was into playing with soldiers and was there right along with the guys. In his teens, David knew he wanted to get reconstructive surgery. With a salt and pepper beard and a deep voice, you would have never guessed he was once a girl.The congregation doesn't feel any remorse towards him. They don't feel as if he's lying. They are happier to know the truth. He just told his children ages 21-39 thta he was transgendered four months ago. I'm not gonna lie, if my dad told me he was a girl..I'd probably just want to see his baby pictures. Very awkward and wierd. Mom err Dad?
