Miriam's on Medical LeaveFeb 28, 2024

So like... yes, this endangers same-sex marriage. It also endangers interracial marriage. It also endangers marriage for people who aren't Christian.

This is a blanket permission to be as bigoted as the clerk wants to be.

And if you don't think the fascists will push this as far as it will go, you haven't been paying attention.

@miriamrobern I’m not naïve enough to think some clerks won’t push this too far, but I am hopeful that even this Supreme Court will agree this is “patently unconstitutional.”
