At the center of this issue is the question of whether North Ireland should recognize a same-sex marriage performed...

Union County magistrate Gayle Myrick resigned rather than officiate same-sex weddings. A former North Carolina magistrate has won a $300,000 legal settlement from the state after claiming she was forced to resign because her religious beliefs prevented her from marrying gay couples.

Myrick initially asked if she could be allowed to stay on without having to give marriage licenses to...

But now Mr Johnson’s own deeply homophobic...
