This doesn't stop marriage ceremonies.
It just states that they are no longer necessary.

yeah it takes the state out of it.......all thats needed to make it official is a Notary, a lawyer or a clergy
You forgot, who's religious values don't contradict the law.
What happens when they refuse?
then go to a notary who doesnt care? Same thing that happens if a baker doesnt want to bake a damn cake, you go somewhere else.....
This again, shows me that its not the RIGHTS that people like you want, its not the same tax breaks.......
Its that you want to oppress anyone that doesnt agree with you........
Agenda is clear..........
This seems to solve many of those issues and its still not satisfactory , nono , we must FORCE people to conform

It stops same-sex marriages. And it still has to go to the Alabama Supreme Court. I think that's what it said. The Governor could veto it?

But you wanted the Government to say that we can't have Equal rights.. so you want them when you want them, and when you don't "Bog Government"?
Getting married never required a Religious Ceremony, you could just go to City Hall or someplace and get the certificate and recognized etc.. so maybe i am confused but what does this change? or what does this mean for Both sexes who want to get married?
If the bill passes, Alabama would be the first state to not require a marriage license from the state.
Attorney Jake Watson explained to WHNT 19 News that the bill, “really does away with the traditional sense of a marriage certificate and what we’ve been dealing with in Alabama as far as marriage certificates for more than a hundred years, I believe.”
“A statement that the parties are legally authorized to be married, that’s going to be the catch. What is legally authorized to be married? Under the State of Alabama Law, that would not include same-sex marriage,” he said.
This all precedes a Supreme Court ruling that is to come later this month.

Yes, you are missing that it blocks same-sex marriage. It's not a good thing.

Just wondered, because before this ruling Same-Sex marriage wasn't recognized in all the states

And I can go to college and get a "certificate" in most anything much more easily than a "degree."
That doesn't mean it's equal or will have the same relevance when applying for a job.
Same difference.
