The question revolves around this statement:


What does that exactly mean? Does it mean that clergy can't perform official marriages for homosexual couples, in which case, duh. The way the article phrases it, it seems that clergy can't even perform non-official homosexual ceremonies, which would be a violation of their religious freedom.

However, there is nothing mentioning any clergy specific bans on the wikipedia article of the Amendment:

Here is the Constitutional section, after amendment:

Damn. Then this way of challenging anti-gay laws against equal marriage may not have any ground to stand on.

And for the record, three hours may not seem long before posting again to ask for more participation/discussion, but time was not what I went by.

I saw something like 140+ views and almost no serious responses. So I went by number of viewers and lack of responses, not by how much time had passed.
