    Yeah you are lady. You were hired to administer licenses and do your job. SCOTUS has already ruled that religious beliefs take a backseat to civil law, because otherwise all of us would operating by our own laws and claiming they're our God's. Maybe if she was working for a private company she would have some sort of argument but the government belongs to the citizens, including the gay ones.

    I hope someone does bring a lawsuit against people like this and soon, so we can put this crap behind us. They'll lose, big time.

    What else to expect. Religious people think their religion comes first. They don't get that government (even though there wasn't technically a government back then) came first before religion.
