Newfoundland Mayors Say they Won't Marry Homosexuals, Even if Court Says So

ST. JOHN'S, December 17, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Some Newfoundland mayors say they will refuse to solemnize same-sex "marriages," even if ordered to do so by the Newfoundland Supreme Court, according to Gander mayor Claude Elliott.

Elliott told the CBC news: "It's not right for two people of the same sex to be married, and I will refuse to do any same-sex marriages," emphasizing that to do so goes against his religious beliefs.

Elliott said that, rather than officiate at same-sex "weddings," he won't perform any weddings at all. He said that other mayors felt the same way.

Two lesbians launch their suit with the Newfoundland Supreme Court Monday, to win the legal right to "marry" there, as homosexual activists have already successfully convinced sympathetic, activist judges to grant them in Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and the Yukon.
