[QUOTE="donner, post: 2787622, member: 277"] he might be a bigoted homophobe and he might not be. But neither necessarily change whether he is right or wrong. I also agree that people should have some latitude in regards to contracts that they are a party to. However, the county clerk is required to 'sign' many things that never actually affect her personally. Its inherent to her job to be a signee, but that does not make her a party to the contract any more than an FFL is bound to a gun he or she sells because his or her name is on the background check paper. If she cannot separate the job from her personal sense of self then she needs to find new work, which is true for all of us. Many of the people who are subject to her interpretation of religion do not always have the option of going someplace else to conclude their transaction, nor should they have to shop around for a public servant who is willing to fulfill his or her job description. Why are all of the people in her county subject to her personal ideas of faith and God? If her job will put her in a situation her faith isn't comfortable with then the solution isn't to hinder everyone else's access to the system. It's find a new job. [/QUOTE]
