Judge Refuses To Marry Same Sex Couples Because Of His Dedication To Christ, But Then THIS Happens [VIDEO] Judge Vance Day of Marion County, Oregon is finding himself at the center of controversy after refusing to marry same-sex couples because of his Christian faith. Oregon legalized gay marriage over a year ago, in May of 2014. Since then, Day has been referring same-sex cases to other judges. Now, Day is receiving criticisms from liberals who believe that his deeply-held religious beliefs are preventing him from faithfully executing the law. Others claim Day is just exercising his First Amendment rights. What do you think? Do you support Day for standing up for his beliefs?
