After same-sex couples obtained the legal right to marry, about a half dozen of Alabama's 68 probate judges declined to issue licenses so they would not have to give them to gay couples. - NBCOUT
The House of Representatives voted 67-26 for the bill that would replace marriage licenses with a new form called a marriage certificate.
Republican Sen. Greg Albritton, the sponsor of the bill, said he proposed the change so people can obtain marriage documents in every county. Rep. Neil Rafferty, the only openly gay member of the House, said the proposal was"born out of prejudice." "It accommodates a handful of judges that couldn't get their personal feelings, couldn't check them those at the door and couldn't do their jobs," Rafferty, D-Birmingham, said.After same-sex couples obtained the legal right to marry, about a half dozen of Alabama's 68 probate judges declined to issue licenses so they would not have to give them to gay couples."I believe marriage is between a man and a woman, as do a lot of Alabamians," Allen said.
