North Carolina Allows Officials to Refuse to Perform Gay Marriages
NY Times - JONATHAN M. KATZJUNE - 11, 2015
Quote:
DURHAM, N.C. — Defying the governor, lawmakers on Thursday enacted a law
that allows state court officials to refuse to perform a marriage if they have
a “sincerely held religious objection,” a measure aimed at curtailing same-sex unions.
…
In another move criticized by supporters of same-sex marriage,
Gov. Rick Snyder of Michigan, a Republican, on Thursday signed a law
allowing private agencies with state contracts to refuse
to make adoption referrals that violate their religious beliefs.
Supporters said the law codified existing practice in Michigan, but critics said
it would allow discrimination against not just same-sex couples,
but also religious minorities, single parents and others.
