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.

The Supreme Court case challenging Obergefell is coming, the only question is which one.

It's possible they may go for this one in a "religious freedom" to chip away at it, but there will also be some case to challenge the ability of the state to ban it altogether.

The same goes for abortion medication and birth control.
