Oregon Judge Refuses To Perform Same-Sex Marriages. A circuit court judge in Oregon's Marion County is refusing to perform same-sex marriages, claiming doing so would violate his First Amendment rights. Judge Vance D. Day, who has served in Oregon's Third Judicial District since 2011, has never married an LGBT couple, and has stopped performing marriages all together. Day says performing gay marriages would go against his religious beliefs, and has reportedly instructed his clerks to refer gay couples to other judges. While no complaint against Day has been made public, Day spokesman Patrick Korten told KATU that the judge is currently under investigation by the Oregon Commission on Judicial Fitness and Disability. According to KPTV, that investigation was prompted by a 13-point complaint against Day, and will be assessed in a hearing this fall. Day is in the process of setting up a legal defense fund to fight any potential charges.
The judge previously served as the chairman of the Oregon Republican Party. Also on HuffPost: Kids Juvenile Detention: Lunch With Dad Refusal Lands Kids Behind Bars. A judge in Michigan has put three children behind bars after they refused to eat lunch with their dad and the incident has sparked outrage among many. As reported by Fox News, Oakland County Judge Lisa Gorcyca sent three kids to a juvenile detention facility until they were 18-years-old because they were not willing to hang out with their father. On June 24, shortly after sentencing the kids to spend time at a juvenile detention facility called Children’s Village, the judge called the case one of the worst examples of parental alienation she’s ever seen.
Gorcyca also compared the kids to convicted killer and cult leader, Charles Manson, while explaining that their dad is a “good man.” According to Daily Tribune News, the judge declared the children of Maya Tsimhoni — ages 9, 10, and 15 — in contempt of court last month and ordered them held at the juvenile detention facility until they attempt to have a relationship with their father or until they turn 18.
