Quote:It's a bunch of baloney that it's her beliefs. She's been married and divorced so many times. She doesn't like gays and I'm going to assume she's probably racist too. She's pretty much a crappy human being. I really don't care of I'm not debating appropriately. So glad she was put in jail.

I don't know her personally so I can't argue about her character. I just know the precedent it would set that government employees can disregard laws based on personal beliefs is something I find horribly dangerous.


That said one can support equal marriage laws and not support homosexuality personally. Some of us are able to separate beliefs and politics. I was raised that separation of church and state was a liberal conspiracy to oppress religion. As I grew older and studied history both here and in other countries I realized the separation of church and state is very real and it's there to protect both institutions. The worse and most dangerous times in history have been when the state and religion merge in power.
