I think the court did it's job in this case.
Look...I lived in South Carolina for 16 years.
That meant that on Saturday night the bars had to close. Because JESUS didn't want us to drink on Sunday (which is modern day made up shit that people just added to the ancient made up shit).
Also on Sunday, I could go to the 24 hour Walmart and buy food if I needed to. But if I wanted to buy a shirt, or a water hose, or anything except food...I had to wait until 1 p.m. in the afternoon because it would be disrespectable to JESUS.
Restaurants were not allowed to serve wine with their meals if they were within a certain distance of a church. And of course there were churches on every fucking corner. So going out to have a nice dinner with a glass of wine was difficult.
What I'm trying to say is: This is the year 2015. It's not 100 A.D. We don't live in the desert and herd goats. We know what a bacteria is. We know the Earth revolves around the sun. Etc., etc.
All things that the primitive tribe people who wrote a book of fables did NOT know.
None of us should be forced to live our lives because percentages of modern people have been brainwashed since childhood to "believe" this nonsense.
And I believe in PERSONAL freedom for citizens. I don't want or need a group of citizens voting to take MY freedom away. It's none of their business if 2 gay people want to get married. Who the fuck are these people to make that decision for others?
Now as for this religious nutcase in Kentucky...she is a govt. official. This isn't her personal life. Nobody is forcing her to get married to another woman. She has a sworn duty to uphold.
She could simply step down if her beliefs are so strong.
But she is refusing to.
She is deliberately hurting couples who want to get married. And as we all know...if you are NOT married and your significant other gets in a car wreck or some other catastrophe, you will have NO rights at the hospital. You'll have NO rights if the worst thing happened and your loved one died. And the list goes on.
I'm sorry, but I can't condone some self-righteous bitch doing the same old song and dance of trying to shove THEIR beliefs on everyone else.
Normally, you could just laugh at her ignorance and walk away.
But since she is the govt. official in charge of licenses...it becomes a different story.
She is fucking people's lives up because of her superstitious belief. And if she really had any sense of duty she would simply resign and go get a job at her fucking church.
