Megan>> Just like Catholic priests won’t marry a couple today who haven’t gone through the right Pre-marital counseling, or some Rabbis (depending on sect) not wanting to marry Jews and non Jews, it seems to me that the freedom of religion (or from religion) – which I support – requires that religious groups be allowed to practice as they see fit. I don’t think there should be a requirement on any authorized person allowed to marry other persons (except those employed by the state – e.g. judges) if they have qualms about it. So, if Catholic priests don’t want to marry same-sex couples, no biggie. (IMHO) but having a judge do it, or some other authorized person is who is so inclined should be ok!
