1. She's not a girl. She is an adult.
2. If she'd kept her mouth shut, she would have received no attention or sympathy.
3. There is a difference between issuing a license and performing a marriage ceremony, even if just a civil ceremony before a magistrate. Not sure how the Court will ultimately rule about forcing someone to perform a civil ceremony, but I'm hoping magistrates will be able to follow their beliefs on this one (and, yes, I'm very pro same sex marriages).
