Poor Mixed Up County Magistrate John G. Kallan of North Carolina

Options Few for Opponents on Marriages shows a very forlorn John G. Kallan who decided to step down rather than conduct same sex marriages.  I can't understand his position when he acts in a government official's capacity to issue a marriage certificate so that a couple enjoys legal rights afforded to them.  On the other hand Mr. Kallam's pastor the Reverend Steven Griffith of the Osborne Baptist Church in Eden, North Carolina is completely in his right not to perform same sex marriage ceremonies which sanctify the union religiously.
