That's all I'm saying. Can't get angry with the church-lady for refusing to marry homosexuals, and then applaud this judge for making exactly the same decision in reverse.
The difference being, judges aren't required to officiate weddings as part of their job. It's totally optional. My uncle has been a judge for 20+ years & has never married anyone. Not the same for the clerk whose sole job it is to record & file marriage licenses along with other official documents.
Apples & oranges.
