Laws and the Clerk

This is way old news by internet standards... but I have to say that I'm very happy with the outcome of the case against the clerk in Kentucky.You decide to trade her freedom for a little publicity.And not doing her job and keeping the rest of the county hostage.It's just like the people who still insist the earth is flat. (Yes, this is still a thing.)And this is why we have the separation between church and state exists. The keep people in the government from compelling the citizenry from behaving by a certain religion.Of course none of this affects non-gay couples. No one is being forced to get gay married.But her sincerely held belief was preventing people from exercising their rights.Which is exactly the point. One can't force someone to be their religion.
