"June 17 marks the date that gay and lesbian couples can marry legally in
California, following a landmark ruling by the state’s Supreme Court in May that
struck down the ban on same-sex marriage. The day will be marked by joyous
celebrations and eager couples earning a right they have waited years to obtain.
Yet, the occasion will also be punctuated by the division it creates
throughout the state…. [T]he 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."
How do people get to be this insane?
