Clergy can opt out of civil unions
National Catholic Reporter, Jan 26, 2007
NEWARK, N.J. -- Members of the clergy, unlike mayors and other public officials who perform marriages, cannot be legally required to preside at ceremonies for same-sex civil unions, the New Jersey Attorney General's Office said Jan. 11.
The issue stems from a new law that allows civil unions for gay and lesbian couples. The unions convey all rights of married couples except for use of the word "marriage."
