SOUNDBITES — “You know the law, as I understand it in the District of Columbia, does not allow that when it comes to employees of the court — it does for clergy and others. It allows them to decline. It doesn’t allow for our folk to do so. While I don’t discuss personnel matters, what I will say is this: We expect to have anyone doing and officiating weddings to be officiating all weddings.” —D.C. Superior Court Chief Judge Lee Satterfiel explaining the rules about refusing to officiate (via)

this happened in Iowa, and the response to county employees was…”you can do your job…or be replaced for not doing your job!”. When we got our license…the response for the county workers was beyound supportive. In fact, at each station, each worker congratulated each soon to married or offically married couple. It was great! I think a few county employees made a stink and the media went crazy about how “county workers are going to refuse to give licnese’s based on their morals..blah, blah, blah”. In reality, nothing of the sort happened.

Out of all the fucked up things that are currently going on in the Us these people think gay marriage is going to doom it? America has been doomed. I cant stand these ignoramuses. They care more about gays than they do about the 20 million plus abortions that are carried out annually or young kids being exposed to violence. These people need to get their priorities in order.

I am glad to see there is no opting out on all weddings for any snakes that think their personal beliefs should allow for interference with their secular positions.
