South African Parliament Approves Gay Marriages - New York Times

The new law allows both heterosexual and same-sex couples to register their unions either as marriages or civil partnerships. But in a concession to critics, it also allows civil officers to refuse to marry same-sex couples on the basis on conscience. Ms. Judge, the gay rights advocate, predicted that provision will be challenged in court.

“We can’t be in the situation where civil officers can decide who they want to marry and who they don’t want to marry,” she said. “They aren’t able to refuse to marry a black person and a white person. This is unconstitutional.”

Wow, right on South Africa. I honestly thought the next country in line would be America, but this is cool too. I’ve got to disagree with Judge though. If a Priest has a marriage license he should have the right to refuse to marry two gay guys if it goes against his religious beliefs.
