Discussion: North Carolina Weighs Passing 'Religious Freedom' Bill Over Governor's Veto

Discussion for article #237234

Way to go, NC legislators. It takes a herculean effort to be more of a collective dick than Pat McCrory.

“Those who wish to opt out of performing a marriage on religious grounds have to recuse themselves from their marriage duties for at lease six months.”

So, gay couples tour the state applying for licenses. They get turned down, and the party refusing the license gives licenses to no one else for six months. I'd say a few gay couples could put the act of marriage out of business in most of NC if they chose to. Sounds like a plan to me.

Only in wackoland would this have a change of passing or being upheld. If a magistrate has the religious freedom to decline performing a ceremony, under what principle can the State preclude him from performing other ceremonies?

The WashPost has an article today on how Sesame Street has resulted in many pre-schoolers being prepared for school. The show was likely banned in North Carolina.
