I figure it’s probably a good to examine all the factors that contribute to a death, rather than limit everyone to choosing only one (e.g., “drunk asshole deserved it”). That way, we might discover more than one way to prevent more senseless deaths in the future.

^NO SHIT — on principle, some AUTHENTIC Xtian needs to start denying marriage licenses to divorced people “on religious grounds”.

Yeah, but Target says “Happy Holidays” to me and I’m offended!

She’s a “martyr” for the cause. And I bet there’s much bigger people willing to pay her legal bills and using her case to further their anti-gay propaganda.

Ah yeah, the old “MY interpretation of this 2000 year old book written in Aramaic and translated repeatedly throughout history is TOTALLY correct, and is the LITERAL WORD OF GOD, but YOUR interpretation is wrong, so nyah nyah nyah!”

She’s doing it for the attention.

Funny how her principles call for her to continue collecting her paycheck for not doing her job. (And, presumably, collecting donations from people.) Odd that her “conscience” is so self-serving.

“Good luck with that, you ignorant fuck.”

The same (Republican) Supreme Court that ruled back in the 1800s (unanimously) that religious beliefs are not an adequate defense against criminal activity. Reynolds v. United States. She is a criminal refusing to do her sworn elected duty and a criminal in contempt of a federal court order. Jail her.

She’s just advancing that expanding marriage to include man-man & lady-lady pairings is like a runaway train, & will never allow us to go back to how things were perfect, once. Like her second marriage.

No, it’s a road to the fame and martyrdom her craven heart so desperately wants!

Bingo. A more cut-and-dry case of separation of church and state responsibilities couldn’t be found if you tried. At least 5/9 of the Supreme Court will laugh this out of the building, while Scalia jacks off, Bible in hand, imagining an alternate universe where he at least got to write a dissenting opinion.

I don’t even get how he was killed. He was a uniformed officer with a gun on his hip (and likely had a long gun of some type in the car). Doesn’t having your own gun stop gun violence? Did he just not have enough guns in this case? Please help me with this, NRA.

Because it isn’t really about gay marriage. Did you see her acceptance speech or the other clerk’s interview when he said he would die for the cause? They’re narcissists that like the attention, and their religion allows them to have their egos stroked. She and her family have also held that office for many years, and…

That's what I keep saying. Put your money where your mouth is. RESIGN YOUR JOB in protest. Honestly, that would be standing up for your beliefs (wrongheaded and bigoted as they are). But you want to keep collecting your paycheck so there your ass keeps sitting.

She’s definitely a “tool” ;)

You know what? As a gay person who’s been subjected to repeated legal discrimination—including being blocked from marrying my partner of over a decade until a couple of months ago, being subject to a ban on LGBT adoption, having to hire an attorney to draft POA and hospital visitation documents just so I could see my…

I live in Kentucky (on one of the blue islands in an ocean of red) and so this story is being reported on my local news channels basically every day. And every day, it raises my blood pressure while I resist openly screaming at the TV at the illogic of her argument—don’t want to scare the children.

“asylum” for her “conscience” lol

Oh, the Supreme Court? The Supreme Court that ruled that gay marriage was legal? That Supreme Court? Good luck with that, you ignorant fuck.
