Though the county has not explicitly stated that it closed the office in an act of massive resistance to a recent federal court decision calling for marriage equality in Utah, the county attorney’s office released a statement linking the closure to that decision: “Given the status of the pending motion for a stay and the appeal that will be filed by the state of Utah, the Clerk’s Office will be closed until further notice.” ... Some other Utah counties have kept their clerk’s office open while simply refusing to provide licenses to same-sex couples. Cache County, however, appears to have taken a different tactic. Rather than simply comply with a federal court decision requiring same-sex couples to be afforded the same constitutional rights as opposite-sex couples, Cache County decided to stop issuing licenses to everyone gay or straight.

so the only way gay marriage is hurting straight marriage is that straight people are being fucking dumb about it?? who'd have thought
That's really immature, might as well shut down the whole state if you don't get your way right?
A bunch of schools in my state did this when segregation was found illegal. It's so sad the lengths people will go to to deny others rights

thats really disgusting but I doubt they will be able to hold out for long. too bad the gays will be blamed for keeping the offices closed
Fucking disgusting.
Bunch of fucking children. "Well if I can't get my way nobody gets anything! Hmph! I'm going to go tell the Governor on you, he'll be soooo mad!"
What kind of an idiot do you have to be to go to these lengths to suppress people from being themselves?

[QUOTE=Tacosheller;43296990]A bunch of schools in my state did this when segregation was found illegal.

I just snipped it mostly out of the OP because the whole article is so short I needed to cut something instead of just reposting the entire thing.

Human wants to marry a human? WE CAN'T HAVE THAT!

I was about to say something about the old "If I can't have the whole pie I'm going to throw it away" saying, but this is more like throwing out all of the pies because people have the option of picking their own pie in a flavour you don't like.
[QUOTE=Paige;43298100]Cause that's gay?!!! Let's all marry anime and pokemon its the only way[/QUOTE] they said I'd never find love but now I've come out on top
Salty were all happy for you and your lairon waifu we wish you the best
Ignore me, I was late to the party.
I always try to work to the end of my conscience. If my job asks me to do something I don't feel is ethical, I won't do it. I have lost and left jobs for that. So this may be a good thing... for that individual. It won't get obnoxious until those counties fail to put someone in place that will do their job. If they can't find anyone in the county that can give licenses to gay couples, then they (the county) will just have to eat a dick and accept that they are a bigoted county. At least they are taking ownership of their dumbass instead of denying it.

And so it was that utah got dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming.
So, what did this accomplish? We either allow gay marriage or no one marries at all, that's the way I see it. People constantly bitch about a fair and equal society and it's honestly only fair and equal if all or none is the case. If they want to be immature idiots about it fine by me, and it's ok to me because, even though they are being childish pricks about marriage, no matter how hard they try, gay marriage is going to happen and nothing will stop it.
I don't understand how a government run organisation can pick and choose when to shut down. wtf?
We need to protect the institution of marriage, even if we have to destroy the institution of marriage to do so.
