(1,587 posts)not to mention to break the law, then I have issues with it.
I don't care how she dresses, nor how she wears her hair (I've worn mine like that, especially when growing out my bangs, but that was before it became fundie chic). And I'm overweight and don't wear fashionable clothes. I'm sure I'm the topic of conversation when I'm out and about, but it's just clothes.
We have a large group around here of some Baptist off-shoot, not to mention lots of Mennonites and Amish who dress pretty much like this woman. I'm used to it, and it doesn't affect me, so why should I care? I saw a woman in a head scarf and modest dress the other week. Her covering her hair and body didn't bother me, she didn't try to shame me for dressing differently, so why should I care?
I don't care what church she goes to, nor what they preach, unless it harms another. Or breaks the law.
If she truly believed that issuing licenses to gay couples was something she personally could not do, then she should either authorize a willing deputy to do so in her name, or resign and let someone who is willing to follow the law take the office.
Something that gets me about people like this, is that they hate the government so much, but they sure won't stop suckling on that teat.
