It goes back to the article in this thread.

Where the Christian registrar wouldn't marry a gay couple.

I think religion should never take priority over the law.

The problem in that article is that whichever way they ruled they violated somebodies rights. I don't think they put religion over the law so much as her personal right to not do something she isn't comfortable with. The only thing they can really do is get a registrar that has no problem marrying a gay couple.

You are confusing rights with beliefs.

Someone has a right to say that someone shouldn't be able to do something that doesn't harm anyone because of her beliefs?

She said "I am offended!" and she won the case.

That is wrong. You should be able to break the law because you don't like something.
