NC Senate considers bill for magistrates to opt-out of SSM marriages

[anvi]

Actually, if the NC magistrates in question are barred from performing any marriages if they object to presiding over some that are permitted by law, then I'd have no objection to that, as it circumvents discrimination.  As for that cop in the story shua posted, I'd have been fine with him being reassigned to parade protection instead of performing in it.  It's the cases of outright discrimination in duties one is otherwise bound by profession or law to perform on the grounds of "religious freedom" that bother me.
