Several pride flags flapped in the wind outside Old South Church in Copley Square, where Anthony Livolsi, an associate minister, celebrated the decision in his sermon.

“This week has brought about an extraordinary bestowal of dignity and belonging,” Livolsi said.

Maria Constantine, 22, has been attending Old South for a few months and said she chose the church because of its welcoming attitude.

“I’m so proud that this is a church that stands for things so openly,” Constantine said. “[It’s important] to be able to have that image for the Christian faith, and for people to know that there are Christians out there who outwardly support this.”

Livolsi, who identified himself as a gay man, said though this was a victory for the LGBT community, work remains to be done.
