Not that easy to stop marriages...

So in Minnesota, marriages are normally done by county court administrators. Apparently, they have the right to decide whether or not to perform this function; but if they do, they have to marry everyone who asks assuming it's a legal marriage.

Same sex marriage arrived in Minnesota Aug 1st; in three counties, the administrators decided not to perform any marriages - opposite sex or same sex. Apparently they were hoping for some big publicity because no marriages would be happening there.

Two other county employees from the Taxpayer Service Center - which actually provides marriage licenses - have stepped in; gotten ordained; and are now performing all the marriages, gay/lesbian/straight.

No hitch, no glitch, no uproar.

Very cool.

Hate away, haters, but equality will continue moving forward, around you or over you, whichever!
