Marriage commissioner sues Canadian province

by Rex Wockner

A marriage commissioner who was ordered by a human rights tribunal to pay $2,500 to a gay couple he refused to marry is suing the government of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan.
Orville Nichols, whose refusal violated the provincial Human Rights Code, says his religious beliefs prevented him from marrying the couple and that the tribunal's decision violated his rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
