Jason,

Don’t feel hurt, for whatever reason my supportive comment didn’t get approved either.

Do you have a zero-tolerance policy of your own? I’m surprised at how few comments are posted here. (I made a post over a week ago and you haven’t accepted it.) I wonder if nobody is reading your blog, or if you don’t care to see any debate. What other reason could there be for seeing so few posts (including my own)?

Ann’s religious beliefs cause her to be unwilling to carry out her duties based on the new legal regime. It’s sad that there is a conflict between the state and her conscience. Should we allow people to break the law based on conscience? I feel bad for Ann, but I don’t see how else to address it besides her finding work that fits into her worldview.

Step down, step aside, and embrace our lifestyles is what this court decision means. To those of us for whatever reasons who don’t believe homosexual marriage should be legally sanctioned we are being forced to set aside our beliefs and join the movement, step by step. Isn’t this ironic?

Taking her ball and leaving?

Can I stop doing my job and claim to be persecuted if people complain?

I am concerned that the FRC is on a mission of hate and denial. The hate is clearly directed at gay and lesbian people, and the denial is of the many terrible things happening now in Christian families.

Instead of pursuing the continued denial of equal rights to gays and lesbians, I suggest you look into the amount of spousal and child abuse occurring within Christian families. How many Christian men beat their wives and/or children, or sexually abuse them? I don’t see the FRC taking a public stand on these issues.

I think you are on the wrong track, and are not living up to Judeo-Christian values.

If part of Ann Barnett’s job description is helping couples get married, I don’t care what sort of religious objections she has, she’s negligent in doing her job. Imagine if a pharmacist refused to fill a prescription for someone he knew was Gay, because of his own self-righteous indignation toward Gay people. Would all you folks at FRC be running to HIS defense also? Ann Barnett’s own petty prejudices should not prevent her from doing her job. And if she can’t just get over herself, she needs to find another line of work.

This comment will likely be removed/disallowed/censored.
It’s what I expect from intrusive ‘know what’s best for everyone’ folks like you.

No marriage is being destroyed.
What part of that don’t you people understand?
IT may not be ‘marriage as YOU define it’, but I don’t think that religion is ‘as you define it’.
Thank goodness, huh?

You are the perverted ones.
You pander to the basest reflexive knee-jerk anti-gay repressives to alarm and scare people into a reaction.
You ABUSE religion.
You refuse to understand or accept that another view has any legitimacy whatsoever.
You preach intolerance.
That’s NOT a very Christian attitude now is it?
Seriously – you need to look at that.

THIS IS PATHETIC. Intolerance goes so far that now it is pure hypocrisy. If gays can get married then no one can get married? Please, mind your own business and quit feeding us this fearful BS. Just because simple-minded people want t limit everyone else does not mean that they should have preferential rights to do so. QUIT haating and start reading your Bible, and pray for forgiveness while you’re at it.

All Americans have the same rights under the constitution, not the under the bible. Remember when the church was prejudice to blacks? Desmund Tutu remembers.

Please take a look at your headline here. ‘Zero Tolerance’ How would that phrase sound turn against Christians? If it came from a Muslim or Jew? Walk a mile in my shoes.
