How refreshing that two Marriage official in California have decided for themselves that Gay Marriage is wrong, and will refuse to officate. This despite a ruling into law allowing it.
Perhaps these Matrimonial officials whose jobs I am sure are taxpayer funded (By taxpaying Gays I am sure) should find another line of work which allows them the freedom of their convictions, perhaps employment in the exciting career of Drive Thru Window, where they can Super Size their beliefs to the masses in the form of Fries and a Shake.
SAN FRANCISCO - As same-sex couples prepare to wed later this month in California, at least one county clerk in the conservative Central Valley is preparing to sidestep the state high court's legalization of gay marriage by shutting down all marriage ceremonies.
Kern County's Ann Barnett and Merced County's Stephen Jones issued statements this week stating they will issue the new gender-neutral marriage licenses as required by law on June 17, but refused to preside over any of the ceremonies, citing space and staff constraints.
In Barnett's case, she plans to stop performing marriage ceremonies for all couples as of June 14.
