“The is NO guarantee for “homosexual rights” in this state. The case should have been appealed. “
The USSC says homos have the right to marry in all 50 states.
That makes it legal.
And according to the de facto law, she was due the judgement, and likely more.

Utter BS and irrelevant anyway. All a bare majority of the USSC pronounced is that homos couldn’t be denied a marriage license. No marriage license is or has been denied to this lesbian teacher. The court DID NOT say that people couldn’t resist this ridiculous notion. In fact, Kennedy, in his majority opinion in Obergefell, AFFIRMS that people and organizations have the right to oppose same-sex marriage as a concept. This applies to school districts as well as individuals:
... it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered. The same is true of those who oppose same-sex marriage for other reasons. [emphasis added]
The school district was well within its rights to restrict overt activism which didn’t comport with their local values.
