Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a bill today where a clergy person would NOT face criminal or civil charges or be sued for refusing to perform a gay wedding ceremony.
Gov. Abbott expects the Supreme Court will legalize gay marriage in the US and wants to make sure no clergy is forced to do anything that is against their religious belief --and that is ALL this Bill is about.
However,take heart, there are plenty of clergy who will perform a same-sex marriage ceremony.
Metropolitan Community Church for one!
Travis County has already issued one gay marriage license on a court order and IF Supreme Court rules in favor,will issue more.
