People who do outrageous and horrendous acts against others who are different should not work for the government. On November 10th, the Supreme Court rejected the bid to overturn the landmark same-sex marriage decision. A ridiculous woman who worked for a County Clerk’s office in Kentucky kept denying marriage licenses to same sex couples because of her religious beliefs. Tell me that is not JUST PLAIN WRONG! Why can’t people understand about separation of church and state? Why are they imposing their beliefs on others? I don’t do that. Why do others think they should? I am glad one couple stood up to her and made her pay for her wrongdoing. I have no sympathy for that worker.
As a woman who was in government for many, many years, I am so disappointed in those petty folks who want to have power over others, regardless of who they hurt. Women should unite and understand that whatever they believe in their private lives should not be pushed onto others. If you are a government worker of any kind, you should do your job well and serve those who come to you. You have to be brave enough to do the right thing by others, regardless of who you are in your personal life. You CHOSE to work to help all the people in your city, county, state, or federal workplace. You were ELECTED to serve everyone. Don’t be a hater. Enough said.

Unfortunately, Dru, religion has taken over the governent and seems to be in everything else these days. Not that religion is a bad thing, but it has it place and its place IS NOT in the government. I’d say more, but there are people just waiting to pounce on anything you say these days.
