Ugh, I’m sorry. That’s a terrible situation.

Thank you for continuing to make this point, seriously. I worked at a vet with another tech who decided at some point she didn’t want to handle cats. We lived in a conservative area and the vets were both lesbians and so was this tech, and I think they were afraid that she wouldn’t be able to find work. Fine I kind of…

As soon as I heard about this I thought, “I bet she’s a recent convert.”

She did, however, refuse to do a large part of her job, and make her coworkers pick up her slack. No one was denied alcohol, but her coworkers suddenly had to a job and a half while getting paid the same salary she did for doing half a job. It’s an excellent arrangement for her, and I can see why she would fight tooth…

Two years ago, Stanley converted to Islam

It’s a part of a flight attendant’s job and if I’m on a flight that serves alcohol but I can’t get it because my flight attendant happens to be a fundie who thinks she should be entitled to impose her beliefs on others, that’s a problem. It doesn’t matter whether or not it affects your health. And it makes everyone’s…

Birth control isn’t a basic right or federal law either tho, and pharmacists are still able to come between a patient and their doctor.

I’m not ok with it. If I’m on a plane and have to wait half an hour for the non-fundie FA on the other end of the plane to serve me my drink because the one serving me can’t give me booze because of her beliefs, that’s affecting me and affecting the quality of the service. So no, I’m not ok with this lady. If you’re…

She’s a bit too brown for those branch Davisians.

But even if she and the airline came to an agreement, her coworkers weren't part of that agreement. So I don't blame them honestly.

Entirely possible. It’s also possible that the accommodation was a huge pain in the ass for everyone, and they just got sick of it (and Kim Davis thing made it top-of-mind for everybody). I mean, think of the layout of a plane, and how those flight attendants are positioned in relation to the beverage cart, the seats,…

I don’t get making up hypothetical hypocrisies.

In one sense, I agree that the situations aren’t comparable. Davis refuses to act as the state performing a function of the state, when in reality the state itself does not have a freedom to religion. She has that job, she needs to do that job, full stop, or remove herself from the position of being a representative…

i don’t think it really matters. she made a choice that meant her current job was very well suited anymore.

I mean, if a compromise or negotiation satisfies all parties then fine, but ultimately if you can’t fulfil your entire contract then... bye.

i don’t know about this one... if you don’t want to serve alcohol you shouldn’t get a job that requires this. she probably shouldn’t apply to be a bartender either.

Let’s watch the Kim Davis supporters and her ilk scramble to support Ms. Stanley. I’ll wait.

Fuck these religious assholes who think they’re entitled to a job, fuck them. Go find “work” in your religious institutions, not in jobs serving the public.
