I suspect it is a place from which gay people flee.

Isn't progressive thinking so wonderful!?
Apparently "non-progressive" thinking is illogical... the day a sheep or child can sign a legal contract, thus consent to a marriage, that's when you'll have the right to marry them. As for polygamy, who cares? If a man or woman can handle multiple spouses, more power to them! As long as they're all consenting adults, I couldn't care less.

Judging by the one response I read, that would make perfect sense... if I were gay, you can bet I'd stay as far away from these folks as possible.

I am agnostic and this has nothing to do with my religous belief. just plain fact of religion and the right to practice as such by The Constitution.
There are two parts to marriage. The state part (go to the city hall and fill out paperwork), and the ceremony part (justice of the peace, judge, priest, preacher, notary, ships captain).

There is no necessity to have a church wedding to be legally married, but you do have to do the city hall part to be legally married.

Wow, 8,000 people in the county. Maybe it is not so much that the people are against Gay's as Gay People just do not want to live in that little place. I mean, do they even have dance clubs there? What do they have that would be any fun? I am not gay and doubt that I would want to live there. Nothin goin on.
