House overrides magistrate same-sex marriage veto - A law which allows county magistrates a "religious excuse" to refuse to perform marriages for any couples (i.e. same sex couples) has become law after the legislature overrode the Governor's veto. Ugh!

Raleigh, NC: “The law "protects sincerely held religious beliefs..”
Not when those beliefs are arbitrarily injurious to others.
“litigation challenging the law was likely to come soon.”
Rightly so. As long as their salaries and the functions they perform are paid for by our tax dollars, these laws are unconstitutional.
“Rep. Cecil Brockman, D-Guilford, apologized to all lesbian and gay couples in North Carolina for the House's action. "Your love is not different than anybody else's love in this state," he said at a news conference."
That statement is perfect because that’s what it’s all about, the haters refuse to believe our love is real, but being too cowardly to say so, they say our marriages aren’t real. That’s something we have to start communicating - that putting marriage in quotes to denote our marriages aren't real is just another way of saying our love isn’t real. I think that making it about how they think our love isn’t real makes it much more personal, for both sides.

Michigan: “Critics of the legislation, however, say the bills give agencies license to discriminate against potential parents based on sexual orientation, religion and marital status -- while still being funded by taxpayers.”
Again, unconstitutional.
“…directly harming 13,000 kids in the state waiting to be adopted.”
And they say we’re a threat to children? They love hating us so much they’re willing to harm children in order to do so. Evil.
To Ben Carson
What position could you take. Well, you could say, you're church will not be taking part in same sex marriages, as is their right. Then You could say, "We have affirmed our belief that marriage is between a man and a woman without imposing that value on others outside our church. Others can now make the choice for themselves.
