No one ever really thinks about this aspect of Amish life, but what happens to the gay and lesbian Amish? Do they have to excommunicate?

They are excommunicated if they act upon their desires. Not for being gay but for fornication - the same as a non-gay couple who have sex outside of marriage would be excommunicated.

The problem with excomunication is that very often those doing the excomunicating take it beyond the scriptural bounds and into the realm of personal vendetta.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Gemini

Today's Full Moon, a Lunar Eclipse, will have a big impact on your relationships during the next few months, so stand by. If the cracks have been starting to show in a partnership, this could be when they turn into major fault lines that demand action. Can they be repaired or do they spell the end of the line? It may feel like a crisis but that doesn't mean it really is one, so don't over-react.
