this happens in many countries all over the world everyday. are people going there and demanding that those people abandon their culture, faith and customs?

If it interferes with their job serving people of all cultures, faiths and customs, then yeah... either they would have to get over themselves or get a different job that doesn't stroke with their ideals.

Because, the last time I checked this country wasn't a theocracy.

Trust me, in my line of work, there are gobs of people I'd like to say, nope, no housing for you, but not housing someone because I don't like them isn't legal, so I shut my mouth and do my job.

Kim Davis has been married four times–twice to the same man–so her standing up for "traditional marriage" and using her religious beliefs as justification is hilarious.

[trojanchick99]

It gets better:

Clerk Kim Davis divorced three times, first in 1994, then 2006 and again in 2008. She gave birth to twins five months after divorcing her first husband. They were fathered by her third husband but adopted by her second. Davis worked at the clerk's office at the time of each divorce and has since remarried

So she can commit adultery, but marrying two men or two women is against her religious beliefs.

I almost feel bad for this woman. She seems like a patsy for larger, evil forces.

Almost.

She may well resign after a long drawn out battle and do the Dugger speaking circuit and book tour and rake in the inevitable $$$.

We must defend the sanctity of divorce. With guns.

She's in the wrong line of work.

That pretty much sums it up.

I guess if she was a burger flipper at McDonald's she'd still be a hypocrite though.

Being a burger flipper isn't a public position that requires you to take an oath to uphold the laws of the country.

Well at least she couldn't very well refuse to serve gay people burgers, that would get you fired on the spot I assume. McDs doesn't want such bad press.

I liked the thing I saw floating around Facebook last night:

What if as a Quaker in a similar government role, I refused to issue gun permits because guns and violence are against my religion?

Gosh, I wonder if her defenders would feel the same way ...

True enough, my point was more that having gone through several divorces and a child born out of wedlock it would be hypocritical to oppose gay marriage because she doesn't seem to hold the sanctity of marriage that high herself.

That doesn't even sound right, because every sane person defending the sanctity of marriage would applaud 2 committed people who love each other to get married whether they are of the same sex or not.
