Couple Support for the Refuse to Sign Campaign

We believe that all consenting adults should be afforded the same marriage rights regardless of their sexual orientation. We also believe that state-issued marriage license should only be signed by a recognized secular official of the state (e.g. a justice of the peace), but not by clergy. We also believe that the religious service, that unites our hearts in the eyes of God, should be performed separately from the signing of the state-issued license. Therefore, we covenant with one another, our pastor, and God to have our nuptials be a two-step process: we pledge to have a state official sign our license and will request that our pastor officiate at a religious wedding service to bless our marriage (separately). Our pastor will not sign our license.

A confirmation email will be sent to the email address you provide. Please watch for it.

Thank you.
