Tennessee Governor ensures no one is forced to conduct same-sex weddings
from The Christian Institute:
The US state of Tennessee will now protect clergy and officials from being forced to conduct same-sex weddings.
House Bill 878, which Governor Bill Lee has now signed into law, states: “A person shall not be required to solemnize a marriage if the person has an objection to solemnizing the marriage based on the person’s conscience or religious belief.”
State Representative Monty Fritts, who sponsored the Bill, previously explained: “As societal views change about what constitutes a marriage, officiants must be able to refuse to solemnize marriages that are contrary to their beliefs.”
