The first point is that they did, in fact, get married-another JP did it.
The second point is that this misguided gentleman is entitled to his troglodyte opinion. He's even entitled to execute his opinions in the way he does his job, unless that state has a law saying that JPs must marry whomever asks.
The third point is, to quote Dr. King, the arc of history is long, but it bends towards justice. These people are not going to be around much longer. In this small piece of our country, the outlook is bright.
If you tossed a rotten tomato at a space 8 inches above that Justice of the Peace's head, it would likely knock a tall white pointed hood off his head.
This is insane.
