Canada has enacted laws that make it legal for gay couples to be married. In fact, if any clergy were to not marry a couple because they are gay, they could be charged. You have two choices: you could invite him and not tell him, or you can invite him and then verbally mention it to him so he can make an informed decision. If it was me, I would just invite him. Gay people are everywhere, and I believe it's time we stopped making a big deal about it. You know your pastor, and I do not, so in the end, it is your decision.

I have some gay friends and he may find this offensive, please let me know. Thanks If your pastor is giving the ceremony, do you need to invite him to the reception?
