A refusal to comply with the gay marriage law could mean Colo faced up to five years in jail and a fine of up to 75,000 euros ($98,000).
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were: "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches. Tingly!
I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.
http://www.euronews.com/2013/06/26/gay-couple-sues-french-mayor-over-refusal-to-wed-them/In France weddings are either conducted by the mayor or his/her deputies at the city hall. Now one mayor had refused to marry a gay couple and is preventing the ceremony from happening. As a result the couple have taken him to court over the matter.

Another mayor of a small town has also refused to marry gay couples but he does not try to stop them from happening, he merely delegates them to his deputies. (I actually think that this is a good compromise from him. At least he is willing to obey the law even if he disagrees with it.)

(I actually think that this is a good compromise from him. At least he is willing to obey the law even if he disagrees with it.)I have never understood that compromise. What if the mayor and the deputies refuse? Who is the one who is ultimately going to get stuck with violating the marriage act? I personally believe that if it is your job as a civil servant to do something, then you have to do it regardless of your personal beliefs. If not, then then you should be forced to resign.
