“This clash of views, secular vs. The Bible, on the issue of marriage is creating more and more of these types of situations. We are probably seeing just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how many of these will eventually occur.” Admin
A North Carolina magistrate has resigned out of his refusal to perform same-sex “marriages” due to his religious beliefs, and a second is also refusing to conduct the ceremonies due to his faith.
Judge John Kallam Jr. of Rockingham County submitted his resignation on Thursday, stating that participating in the act was against his religion, and that he believed that voters had already spoken on the issue.
“It is my personal belief and a position of my Christian faith that doing so would desecrate a holy institution established by God himself,” he wrote.
Magistrate Judge Gary Littleton of Pasquotank County likewise refused to perform the ceremony for two Elizabeth City men on Monday.
