I support Kim’s right to refuse. She should step aside.
Just remember one thing: When concealed carry laws are passed in states and local sheriffs or police departments refuse to comply....how do we feel?
Government should be removed from marriage completely. Instead, government can issue a short-form contract that bestows legal status to another person (or persons) for the purpose of the law. A meaningless piece of paper.
Let marriage be a religious ceremony only carried out in private.
That is the answer.
At this point, asking government to regulate marriage is a farce. And yet some will want it to keep on lest things deteriorate to underage relationships, incest, and the like.
The devil threw a stinkbomb in the middle of the land and now its smell is all over.
People are going to learn the hard way what the reason was for the “old idea” of marriage.
That does not overturn several thousand years of normal practice and religious belief.
A closer analogy is the Nazis ordering people to issue Tattoos to "untermenschen." The "Law" was on their side too.
One does not obey the law merely because it's "the Law." One is expected to DISOBEY immoral laws.
Would you arrest Christians when it becomes the law? That is where this is going. The time to resist is before it gets stronger.
