Probate judges refuse to sign document for same-sex unions
“I support it because it doesn't require the probate judges to sign off on a marriage license,” said Representative Wess Allen of Troy.
During his time as probate judge, Allen stopped issuing marriage licenses all together.
“I believe marriage is between man and woman, as do a lot of Alabamians. We passed a constitutional amendment back in 2006, about 80 to 20, in favor of defining marriage in the state,” Allen said.
