I guess it figures. In a few backward outposts, local dimwit authorities believe they've found a slick way around the need to officiate at those awful gay weddings -- they just won't perform any weddings at all. None.
There are only three county judges in Guernsey County, Ohio. After years and years of presiding at civil marriage services, they're suddenly getting out of the marrying game completely. It's got nothing to do with gay marriage. No, of course not. Same for the mayor of Cambridge, Ohio. He's just not gonna hitch anybody anymore. He finds himself swamped with other duties.

"Refusing service in this case isn't religious liberty; it's an act of intolerance, discrimination, and bigotry. I find these judges and mayors guilty of willful non-performance, and I sentence them to get off their asses and do their duty in full, for the benefit of all. Failure to do so will result in lawsuits and large fines for the individuals, counties and towns involved. Case closed."
What a twisted thing it is when judges may need to be sued to force them to comply with the law.
