Central New York judge pushed to resign for allegedly refusing to officiate same-sex marriage
Briefly

"If a judge can't follow the law and do her job as directed by the New York state constitution and the United States Supreme Court, she should step down," state Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Brad Hoylman-Sigal told The Post Wednesday.
"I find it appalling that someone who professes to work on behalf of the public takes a piecemeal approach to their responsibility," Hoylman-Sigal, who is gay, told The Post.
"I believe it is just and appropriate for Judge Pitts-Davis to step down so all the people of our community can be assured they receive equal treatment under the law," Marion said in a statement.
According to Syracuse.com's reporting, Shawntay Davis and Niccora Davis went to the Syracuse Courthouse to be married on Nov. 16. They watched Pitts-Davis marry a heterosexual couple, but when it was their turn, the judge disappeared.
