Bevin is trying to sidestep a conflict over same sex marriage.
I think public officials who don’t want to participate should not be forced to.
Bevin is trying to accommodate that, but will it be enough for those who want gay marriage?
They seem pretty militant and determined to force everyone to go along with them.
I have called the establishment of gay marriage a pathway to tyranny and I am not backing away from that notion.
At some point Matt Bevin and others will show themselves to be defenders of freedom of folks who cave in.
Governor Mike Pence of Indiana and Governor Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas folded quickly under big corporation pressure and backed away from religious freedom laws earlier this year.
The kind of religious freedom law the GOP in those states caved on is the one Kim Davis cited in her defense in court.
He needs to fight this with the Constitution. If he caves I would start referring to him as “Door Matt” Bevin.
Which indicates he entirely lacks the qualifications of a true leader. Typical spineless wimp republican.
Jindal favored a religious freedom law in LA, but it was rejected by the Republican-controlled legislature. Then Jindal used an executive order, which will be rescinded in January by presumed new Gov. John Bel Edwards (D).
