Rev. Dan Rodriguez-Schlorff, the openly gay Green Party candidate for the state treasurer’s office, will officiate a wedding ceremony uniting two women in a private ceremony on May 27.

The two women first approached Schlorff after hearing him speak at the Matthew Shepard rally last October. Subsequently, Rodriguez-Schlorff has been meeting with the couple to discuss their future together. Following the ceremony, the couple will marry legally in Canada, where same-sex unions were allowed five years ago.

Instead of including legal pronouncements of marriage, Rodriguez-Schlorff will include a legal disclaimer.
