Good. Maybe this will drive some of the gays away.

Hard to argue that it's just the NC republican party acting backwards when we have this stellar example of forward thinking right here supporting it.

Bingo.

Do your damn job. If you can't do your job, get another job.

Most tellingly, you don't hear these magistrates complaining about approving literally any heterosexual marriage. They aren't questioning those with previous divorces, or making sure these couples did not have sex prior to marriage, they'll just rubber stamp their entrance into this respected and religious union because of their heterosexuality and due to absolutely nothing else alone. Yet, you show up with a couple that has matching parts and out comes their moral convictions? Come on, be a little less transparent.

Um, from a Christian perspective heterosexual marriage takes people out of a sinful state if they are engaging in premarital sex and for those who haven't has sex before marriage, prevents them from entering into a sinful relationship. Same sex marriage is a sinful relationship.

Will all due respect, this is immaterial. If a particular marriage is legal in a state, the magistrate doesn't have a choice but to carry it out.

If they can't do that, then they need to find another line of work.

Marriage isn't a LEGAL right it's a Religious RITE. Government needs to GTFO of the marriage business, this is a great start to making that happen. Civil Unions for everyone.

If you're referring to this law, you're absolutely wrong. In no way, shape, or form is this an attempt to remove government from a religious rite. Stop trying to portray this law in a positive light, it's an embarrassment of a law, and NC should be openly mocked for it.

Isn't marriage/civil union status a state jurisdiction rule? Are you a resident of NC? If not worry about your own state's problems.

How do you think they got elected? Well, voters like him, and a heavy dose of gerrymandering. Republican politicians that don't support stuff like this are called liberals, socialists and RINOs. Just imagine what they call Democrats.

You're really flailing here. Something being a states-rights issue has no bearing on my ability to comment on, and openly mock, a states policy on that issue. It's sad that people are actually defending this.

Well if we are being picky, you live in Charlotte. Most of the rest of the people in the state don't consider that part of NC.
