Florida Counties End Courthouse Weddings To Avoid Performing Gay Marriage Ceramonies (Great Idea!)

[Steve_McGarrett]

People are waking up to the fact that LOCALS have more power than feds. The counties did a noble thing. Gay marriage ceremonies must not be allowed in this country. It is immoral and goes against traditional marriage between a man and woman which is a founding moral principle to establish our sovereignty.


Edit: Should be 'Ceremonies' in title.

Three Florida Counties Put an End to Courthouse Weddings to Avoid Performing Gay Marriage Ceramonies

 

[Katzndogz]

This is the way it should be. Gays can get their marriage ceremony performed by someone who wants to do it.

 

[JakeStarkey]

. . . as can straights. The issue will undoubtedly end up in court.

If all counties in the state elect to non-discriminate by ending all JP weddings, that stance may be upheld by state and federal courts.

 

[Katzndogz]

JP weddings haven't been ended. Just the courthouse weddings have been ended. If the JP is empowered to conduct weddings they can still do that if they want to.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Then that means all the JPs who perform weddings per their public office will have to perform them for whomever petitions such.

They don't get to perform them in the courthouse, is it?

 

[mdk]

So what? This isn't going to stop gays from marrying in any of those counties.

No. Not even close. It means if you know a JP authorized to perform marriages you can ask them to perform yours. They don't have to do jack shit unless they advertise that they will.

 

[Katzndogz]

So what? This isn't going to stop gays from marrying in any of those counties.

No. They will just have to find someone willing to marry them which is as it should be.

It is a case of their hatred of gays resulting in punishing all couples in the county

Agreed.

No one is being punished.

Yup

 

[JakeStarkey]

If a JP holds himself out in any way, then . . .

"Sir, how much do you charge for a civil marriage?"

At that point, the PA state law takes effect, which will decide the fate of that marriage by that judge.

 

[Mr Natural]

Pettiness is a sacrement to the right.

 

[rightwinger]

No one is being punished.

Heterosexual taxpayers who can no longer get married in the courthouse are not being punished?

Voters in California were punished when there rights were stomped on when prop 8 was overturned by the 9th circus of idiots.

Not even close. You don't know how it works. It's not the charge. It's the business.

It would work exactly like it worked when I won my case against the two lesbians. They failed to prove that I was in the business if commission portraiture. Even though they proved and I freely admitted a long history of commissions.

The couple would have to prove, not that they paid for a service, but that the clerk held himself out as a business open to the public.

A couple goes to the courthouse. They are told that they no longer perform marriages there. They go to clerk one. Can you marry us this afternoon? " Clerk one has plans to go to dinner with her husband. Clerk two has a PTA meeting. The couple approaches clerk three and says "$50.00 bucks if you come to our house after work." The clerk agrees. The clerk isn't in the business of performing marriages. Doesn't advertise nor hold himself out as performing marriages for payment.

How does it punish someone if someone else is allowed to be married?

 

[JakeStarkey]

You have not a clue, do you, AmericanFirst?

It will depend on the state PA law, if it has one, and how it reads.

Read it and get back to us.

Tipsycatlover is punished because he can't make people do what he wants. Typical fascist.

How do you function without a brain?
