Bump for the United Church of Christ challenging Amendment 1 on freedom of religion grounds. Pastors want to marry gay couples and cannot because anyone who performs a marriage ceremony for people without a marriage license (obviously, not possible to get for same-sex couples in NC) commits a misdemeanor.

I'm really glad this is happening, because it shows the bullshit of the "religious liberty" argument against gay marriage. It's inherently antithetical to religious liberty as banning gay marriage is at its core the state defining the parameters of a religious sacrament.
