WHO'S DEFENDING MARRIAGE NOW?
Gosh! It turns out it's actually true that allowing gay people to get married ruins other people's marriages!
That's because conservative local governments are protesting the California Supreme Court's pro-marriage equality decision by refusing to grant any marriage licenses to anybody. Classy!

They ARE giving licenses (required by law), but are now refusing to perform the marriage CEREMONIES that they used to do.

Actually, according to the article, the two counties (Kern and Butte) are refusing to perform any marriage ceremonies. They are continuing to issue licenses as they are required by law to do. Still an inconvenience, but not quite as much so.

Some parishes in the Episcopal Church have decided not to marry anyone, that is, no heterosexuals, until gays get full marriage rights in their states. Great plan to take away the rights of some in the fight for rights for all. Sorta like starving your own kids because somewhere some other kid may be hungry.
