I’m just posting the title AS IS, typos and all.

maybe the state legislature should do it

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Next step is the courts will force them to perform weddings.

Just one of the many ways gay marriage impacts all marriages, now nobody can be married?

The articles' author Samuel Smith found one Nadine Smith who is "outraged" about this .... hmmmm ...

People are waking up to the fact that LOCALS have more power than feds.

The churches are still available for traditional weddings.

This represents a victory for the "gay" rights movement.
If you consider the sexual practices of homosexuals, it's not difficult to figure out they never had any use for marriage; once they obtain whatever benefits can be elicited from government recognition of legal unions, the rest is pointless.

The purpose of legalizing same-sex "marriage" is and always was to destroy the institution of marriage altogether.

No one can be married by a JP in the county courthouse, I guess. I wonder if there is a difference in the divorce rates between those who get married by a JP and those who get married in some sort of religious ceremony.

No, people will be, because homosexuals and atheists will be demanding civil ceremonies.

[Morpheus2009]

IMHO, it depends on who, atheists may have fairly stable marriages.

"I think it would be outrageous for clerks to change the rules simply because gay couples are getting married," Smith said.

Outraged because they changed the rules.

Okey-dokey then.

I'm thinking that not only are these people deviant, they've completely lost the ability to detect irony.

[Gasshog]

Not gay, queer and miserable. Bringing God’s wrath down on us.

Maybe the State should just do away with Marriage Licenses altogether. Tell everyone to go to the Federal Court House and get a Federal Marriage License.

[Ransomed]

Sure, but I would hazard that actual atheists make up a pretty small % of those who actually bother to get the court house wedding.

“The purpose of legalizing same-sex “marriage” is and always was to destroy the institution of marriage altogether.”

They can only destroy marriage for those that rely on the state to define marriage. For many, the state’s definition hasn’t been the correct one for centuries, for many more since the state came up with no-fault divorce.

I think the real purpose is to use the power of the state to punish and to be able to keep punishing those who they know will never accept it. It’s the stick they won’t ever have to put down.
