N.Y. town clerk: I won't sign gay wedding license
New York’s gay weddings victory lap has not extended to all parts of the Empire State, with a rural town clerk determined to not sign any same-sex marriage licenses.
Barbara MacEwen, the town clerk in upstate Volney who is responsible for signing marriage licenses in the town, said she’s morally opposed to same-sex weddings and does not intend to affix her signature to any marriage documents for gay or lesbian couples.

"I took an oath to follow the law and I intend to do that," MacEwen said. "I’m resigned to the fact that I don’t agree with it, but I will do it and I will treat them equally."
