Why can’t there be a compromise that allows somebody else in the country office to sign it? It’s a simple solution that could avoid litigation. All we need is a simple act of legislation.

A most excellent suggestion. Sort of like giving the Muslim cook in my original hypothetical another duty on pork chop days.

But would the "gay" community be accepting of such a reasonable compromise?

This will require COURAGE on the part of Kentucky’s legislature.

North Carolina has already done that.

Why can’t Kentucky?

For that matter, why can’t each individual states do it?
