I don't disagree. All I know is that if I was looking for a JP to do a service for me, I would find one that was truly happy for me, not one that was doing it out of obligation. I think some leeway should be given to let people follow their moral compass without big brother stepping in and forcing them to do something against their will.

With the push for gay rights has come the minimizing of religious rights in some aspects.
