RE: Law of the Land has changed.

Do you think you're going to change my mind? And you KNOW very well what my argument is.

Homosexuality does NOT equal pedophilia or bestiality, but it makes it OH SO much more dramatic to pretend.

Don't you know we're all supposed to celebrate depravity now. Being good and wholesome is now bad and being perverse is something to strive for. That's just messed up.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

No. Being gay does not mean being a kid diddler, or a dog doer. It doesn't even mean always looking for someone to poke.

BUT

This ruling, making same sex marriage legal, has opened a Pandora's box.

If that isn't clear to everyone, then you are simply choosing to not see.

Why can't pedophiles use the same "born that way" argument? Why is their particular perversion learned, and not the perversion of homosexuality? What's the difference? You and your ilk are the ones who keep spewing crap like "you can't help who you are attracted to".

Why does that not apply to everyone, if true?

Plus, age is a human construct. In many cultures and times today and through history, people mugh younger than their late teens were considered "old enough".

Yes, I know these people. The girl is the niece of my best friend. They cannot get married on Monday. No one will marry them. They don't want to be married in a religious ceremony. They may not be able to get married...

Happy now?

That is because your local government is stupid, oh four. It's not gay people's fault.

By refusing to perform ANY marriage ceremonies, they are, in a sense, encouraging unmarried couples to live together.

So that county clerk decided not to perform any more marriages because they would have such an influx of work to do and they didn't want to do more work. That's what they said in the article. Interesting admission.

Yeah the local government is shooting itself in the foot because they don't want to perform gay marriages.

Maybe this couple should just go to the next county to get married.

It was either that or admit they didn't want to do gay marriages.

EVERY single county in southern middle TN has stopped performing marriages. They would probably have to drive 2 hours, and I seriously doubt they will do that...

Which they should have done. My county said that exactly...

Ohfour · Hooker

Poorly written, but here's what the article states:

All of the County Clerk offices in southern Middle Tennessee are not offering to officiate marriages, although all are offering licenses.

They can come right out and say it. Their freedom to follow their religious beliefs is illegal for them now.

I'm just happy that my state is taking a stand against an oppressive Federal ruling. If there's no discrimination, then there's no problem, right?

Can people still use a JoP to marry?

lilyofcourse wrote:

According to the article...

Maury County Clerk Joey Allen recommended couples contact “any preachers that are not associated with the county government.”

So no public employees will marry anyone anymore...nice...

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

But I was asking in general.

Mom was a JoP for years, never did a single wedding.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Our state has three counties that will no longer perform any marriages. They will issue licenses, but will no longer marry anyone.

One county is a big county.

Some states allow Notary Publics to officiate weddings. Maybe those states that have counties that wish to end their performance of marriages should adopt that practice.

You can get ordained in about 5 seconds online. Depending on the documents the clerk requires they maybe 8 to 20 dollars.

Lots of states allow temporary wedding officiants. You get permission to be a justice of the peace for the day.

As long as it's done properly and follows state laws, it's fine.

My sister and BIL had their friend as their wedding officiant. She's not a JP or clergy.

It seems to vary be state and county. The site I went to in order to become ordained has links to the states and county laws. Some have wait periods as well. I found out though since 2015 some of the people the site ordained were having in TN.
