This seems somewhat similar to what the judge in Oregon is doing. He too (IIRC), opted out of performing marriages altogether, so as not to bring himself into a position where he might be faced with a situation that conflicted with his religious beliefs. This was by choice, rather than statute (performing marriage is (again, IIRC), an optional, rather than a required, duty for Oregon judges)
Naturally, the local gay activist group bigwig claimed it suggested this particular judge’s decision could be evidence of bias against gay defendants in any possible legal case. It’s not enough to take yourself out of the situation, it’s embrace 100% or be vilified as an enemy when you’re dealing with activists.
