So, all sorts of angst and wailing after the Governor of Mississippi signed a bill giving objectors a way for avoiding participation in gay marriage.
Our local newspaper (vehemently against the bill) had a big headline on the front, their own editorial and two guest editorials, all against.
That makes 10 or 11 states that have passed such laws.
The only real argument from the anti-freedom types is that we shouldn’t “discriminate”, while on the other side of their mouth calling the pro-freedom types haters and bigots and whatever other nasty names are high on the list this month.
And the usually anti-big-business end of the political spectrum is happy to point out that big corporations are on the gay-marriage side or the who-cares-which-bathroom side ( or any other side that brings money in the front door). Giving legal standing to every minimum-wage lackey not wanting to serve canadian bacon would put a kink in the hiring practices at the local McDonalds.
So, we shall see what happens. The money and lawyers are all on the “you will be assimilated” side of things.
