Marion County Judge Refuses To Perform Same-sex Marriages

(Salem, OR)  --  A Marion County judge is refusing to perform same-sex marriages.  Circuit Court Judge Vance Day is being investigated by the Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability because he won't perform marriages between partners of the same sex.  A spokesman for Day told KATU-TV that the judge is a Christian and his religious beliefs don't allow him to perform same-sex marriages.  The investigation will be followed by a hearing if charges are filed, after which a recommendation will be made on the case to the Oregon Supreme Court.
