If this is the law, the law is an ass!
For many years, I have smiled at people’s dislike for the laws in different theologies. If you don’t like the law, you get with others that feel the same as you and you go to the state or federal congress and you see that the law is changed. Remember, the people that made those laws represent you and you voted them in either by losing in the vote or not trying to get rid of them with physical support to your party and candidate along with those neighbors. If the congressperson doesn’t wish to do what you want, you campaign against him/her and get them out with new people that feel the way you do. That’s the process. But until that happens, the law is the law and you either follow it, or you leave so you won’t be forced to live within it. By law, those are your options. I hope you stay and fight, but most don’t. And ignoring it or fighting against it without the process just means time or dime, or both. That’s the law.
