Group Formed To Block Gay Marriage In Vermont
http://www.365gay.com/Newscon08/01/010808vemar.htm

Conservative groups that boycotted legislative hearings on a proposed gay marriage bill in Vermont accusing it of being pro-gay announced Tuesday they have set up their own commission to "set the record straight".

The groups, which include Vermont Renewal an organization that for most of its history has fought all LGBT legislation in the state, held a news conference at the State House to announce the establishment of commission.

Spokesperson Stephen Cable said the commission will hold public hearings throughout the state. The first "Marriage Matters" forum will be held January 19th at the University of Vermont.

The commission also will open a Web site "to educate people" about the dangers of same-sex marriage, especially to children whose interests he said have been overlooked to date.

2. Yes I have known of churches that do that.
The minister of Bering Methodist Church in Houston stopped doing marriages as a protest against blocking gay marriage. They are quite liberal and when I went there many years ago, they were basically High Church Episcopalian (smells and bells as it is called). The minister would plain chant and we would respond in four part Anglican chant.
