And she’s still right.

Two perverted men cannot marry each other. Two perverted women cannot marry each other.

To Hell with the “supreme” court. It’s wrong. Dead wrong. Damnably wrong.

But they can, within the state rules.

They cannot, within most Christian churches. But following the rules of Christian churches is not required for the state to recognize a marriage. Atheists can get married. Pagans and Wiccans can get married. Hell, Satanists can get married.

Marriage doesn’t have to be about procreation. Elderly people past the age of conception can get married. People with hysterectomies and vasectomies can get married.

I’m not happy with her being in jail, but I think she should resign a government position that she is unwilling to perform.

I think she should feel free to exercise her religious freedom. But if her religion tells her she cannot do the job for which she was elected, even if that job has changed since she was elected, she should step down.

I don’t see how she is not a government official who is imposing her religion on the people who come to her office for government services. That’s what hangs me up on this. If she was a person who converted to Islam and decided she would not hand out licenses to anyone who wasn’t Islamic, we would all be up in arms.

I would like someone to convince me that this isn’t the case.

A soldier who decided in the middle of a war that they were now a Quaker and couldn’t shoot anyone, wouldn’t they be charged with abdication of their position?
