The office has 170 same-sex couples signed up to receive marriage licenses on the first day, says Karen Hong Yee, director of the county clerk’s office. .. In contrast, the Butte County clerk-recorder issued a June 11 news release saying her office will stop performing wedding ceremonies altogether — for gay and heterosexual couples. The Kern County clerk issued a June 4 release that she would do the same. .. Calaveras county has decided to follow Butte’s and Kern’s lead, and will also [[war on marriage|stop performing marriages]] altogether.” Apparently [[religious right]] county employees would rather prevent ''anyone'' from marrying (and fail to do their jobs, into the bargain) rather than allow gay people to marry. If gay people somehow fail to destroy [[marriage]] by their participation, the religious right will make sure it gets destroyed anyway.</let> |
