It is a government job, issuing licenses is a requirement of the job so I am not sure how they could really make an exception for religious freedom in this particular matter.
It is different, in my opinion, if it is a government job or a non government job. It is also different if it is an essential task of the job or not. I am actually surprised that many people say it is okay for an official to refuse to issue a license. I mean sure, if someone objects to SSM in marriage I could see them saying it for that, but I find it a bit odd for someone to support SSM but think they should be able to withhold issuing a license.
It isn't like a minister being required to officiate a wedding, heck it isn't even like a baker being required to bake a cake for a wedding.
