Amazing how the liberal news media can bury a story like this for 3 years, yet they have to sensationalize every occurrence when the shoe is on the other foot.

You're gonna have to be more specific. Which things? The Rapture? Armageddon? The majority Catholic US Supreme Court countenancing the imposition of sharia law in Detroit (or is it Dearborn)? People marrying their cats? Pedophiles marrying little kids? God smiting gay people? More plagues? Josh Duggar being persecuted because he's an upright moral christian? Obama declaring himself dictator (or god - I can't keep it straight)? Michelle Obama being a man?

They say so many deeply weird things...

Personally, I don't care if Gays get married, or transgenders get reassignments surgery or Polys get to do their thing. I'm purely Libertarian on the issue. Your tax money is as good as mine.
As for the gay judge in the OP, her statement was made in 2012. She now performs marriage ceremonies for anyone that shows up. By law, acting as a marriage officiant is strictly voluntary on her part, she doesn't have to officiate for any *at all*.

No, this judge is performing marriage for anyone. So, nothing is coming to anything considering this story is from 2012.

Apples and oranges.

Apples and oranges.

Apples and oranges.

One is a county clerk who dispenses marriage licenses. The other one doesn't.

Well, the important thing is you found a way to feel victimized.

Meaningless detail, when you're craving that outraged feeling.

Don't interrupt the right-wingers with facts - it might distract them from their "war on heterosexuality" or whatever other nonsense they believe in.

Government shouldn't be involved in marriage at all.
