Governor Abbott of Texas is telling the county clerks that they don’t have to issue marriage licenses for gays if it goes against their religious beliefs. I’m wondering how this will play out - will those clerks be sued?
sure as shooting they will.
Public/private are two very different things. The clerks’ personal beliefs do not come into play here. Your governor is wrong.
We need to fight the fight where we have firm ground. Churches, private businesses, private associations. Not invite comparison to standing in the schoolhouse doors, using the official power of the state to withhold something from a minority.
Give them the dang marriage license, what is Caesar’s is Caesar’s.
