“No, not at all. As a matter of fact, I think the Supreme Court made a decision there. It was apparently unconstitutional to stop anyone from getting married. It’s like 1948, the interracial marriage, when the Supreme Court of California has, you know, decided it was unconstitutional and then later on the Supreme Court of the United States followed, I think 10 or 12 years later. So I think it is, it’s good that California lead – is leading in this way. I personally believe that marriage should be between a man and a woman. But at the same time I think that my, you know, belief, I don’t want to force on anyone else, so I think we should stay with the decision of the Supreme Court and move forward. There are so many other more important issues that we have to address in California. So I think to spend any time on this initiative I think is a waste of time.”

“You know, the old thing about if gays get married, then it somehow threatens heterosexual marriage? It just so doesn’t track on any level, but then again, any sort of homophobia doesn’t really track on any logical level. It probably comes largely from religion; if it wasn’t in the Bible, they would not really have any leg to stand on – not that I consider that much of a leg.”

“I will transfer. I am not going to compromise my beliefs or standards for anyone, not even the Supreme Court of California. … I do respect the rights of other citizens who are now asserting same-sex marriages but I also need to assert my right to religious freedom. … I also want to clarify that my refusal to perform this ceremonies is based only on my personal morals and beliefs, and it doesn’t come from intolerance.”
