The two women were told that McConnell, the judge on duty does not perform “these types of marriages.”
Wilson and her partner were able to get married by another judge after a delay, but she says that the incident was insulting and “embarrassing” and said that it “put a damper on the day.”
“If he would have taken the time to talk to us, it would have been a little more palatable,” she told the Toledo Blade.
On Wednesday, Judge McConnell released a statement explaining that to perform his judicial duties for the two women would constitute a violation of his Christian beliefs and that he is personally applying to the Ohio Supreme Court to be excused from performing “non-traditional” marriages.
“On Monday, July 6, I declined to marry a non-traditional couple during my duties assignment,” McConnell wrote. “The declination was based upon my personal and Christian beliefs established over many years. I apologize to the couple for the delay they experienced and wish them the best. The court has implemented a process whereby same sex marriages will be accommodated. I will continue to perform traditional marriages during my duties assignment.”

To be forced into something you do not want to do shows the reality of the gay agenda. They will not tolerate an opposing view but berate, hate, and destroy those who, by conscience, step aside. The marriage was performed. But that wasn't good enough for gay activists. It never is... is it?

Over 61% of Ohio voted to keep marriage between a man and a woman. The majority should have the right to keep their religious beliefs in the workplace.

I demand sanctuary cities for Christian beliefs. Heck, the illegals have their sanctuary cities, why can't the American people?

Next time marry the LGBTs but screw up the paperwork so they have to go through the whole thing again. HAHAHA.
Fight these hateful liberal activists with passive aggression. Incompetence is a liberal religion, so treat them to a dose of it every time they try to force you to violate your religion or they violate your rights. Smile and screw up whatever they want you to do. Bake that wedding cake....but leave out the salt. Let them try to eat that. Send out the photographer to take pictures of the gross gay wedding - a day late. OOPS we are SOOOO sorry.
Remember to smile while you ruin everything for them, apologize repeatedly, and don't forget to ask them to come back again, yawl!. Accidents do happen, don't they?
Teehee.
When activist LGBT hate groups finally get sick of this, they will become careful to avoid those who do not support their agenda instead of deliberately targeting them for destruction. Right now, the LGBT community is at war against Christian people of faith, carefully avoiding muslims, and have earned payback. This is a non-violent way.

The left calls for the impeachment of the judge. That just shows the left has an agenda to deny your rights, they hate individual rights.
The judge has his rights like everyone else, or we all did once when this nation was a Republic with a Constitution.
First Amendment. Freedom of Religion is part of that but it seems the "left" (Liberal Progressive Marxists) want to deny your rights, destroy the Constitution and dictate to each person what they decide your rights will be and what you can and can not believe, what you can and can not say.
We need to stand up and defend our rights!!!!!!

This is what happens when you have a Supreme Court rule unconstitutionally to alter the Constitution and create a new right and then give that right superior status.
Even if the new right to marry is valid, it would be an equal right with all the other rights each individual has, but they put the new right to marry above the right to Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion.
What right will they decide to declare superior to other rights. Perhaps the Right of Freedom of the Press will be declared superior to the Right of Freedom of Speech and you will not be allowed to speak freely (Oh, wait, that is already happening, you do not have Freedom of Speech today, you have to meet what they say is acceptable) They have already put the new right to marry (which is not valid as the court does not have the power or authority to alter the Constitution or add new rights) above the Right to Freedom of Religion. If your religious beliefs will not allow you to participate in same sex marriage, you can not exercise your RIGHT.
Ben Franklin stated when he was asked "Sir, what have you given us"? and Franklin's answer was "A Republic if you can keep it" and it appears to be that we could not keep the Republic, as we now seem to have a tyrannical despotism.

Liberals and the Gay Movement have an agenda, and it had nothing to do with being treated equally as others, no, no, no, it had everything to do with forcing everyone in the USA to embrace, approve of, and proclaim that their immoral sexuality is good, healthy, normal, and Righteous.
They care not that regardless of what the people say God will NEVER condone their lifestyle as it is Aborrant to Him.

So on the one hand you have FLOTUS telling us to be healthy by forcing school kids to eat her version of healthy food that they don't like. On the other hand you have SCOTUS forcing the states to recognize same sex marriages regardless of what the people of those states desires are. And the homosexual lifestyle is quite unhealthy as far as suicide, disease, drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and depression according to the Center for Disease Control studies report. I wish the right hand of the govt would get together with the left hand of the govt and promote either healthy ideas or unhealthy ideas. They look silly promoting both.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Wish Trump would stand up and draw attention to this issue like he's drawn attention to illegal immigration. There's bottled up fury that's just begging for someone to unleash it. It would be a great way to really pick a fight with the statist fascists, finally expose who and what they really are. And to expose that they really don't have the amount of support for this issue that they claim they do.
Regardless of the fact that the lesbian couple were still awarded the ceremony, mainstream leftists like Glenn Greenwald believe McConnell should be impeached because he won’t violate his religious conscience.
As you’ll see below, Greenwald’s reasoning is based on bullying and force, not tolerance or even legal reasoning.
BTW, I don't support Gay marriage and believe that marriage is between MAN and WOMAN. Marriage is oriented toward procreation, and only a man and a woman can procreate.
BUT, I CAN'T STAND THIS BIGOTRY:
