      We’re an ordered society. We electeaders who adopt laws and ordinances. Who the hell am I to throw that out the window and instead tell people they have to follow my will.

          Motherfucker I work in development. Telling someone they can’t have their pool equipment pad in the side setback or that front-yard fences have to be 80% transparent isn’t exactly sending them to the gas chamber.

              Government employees providing government services have to provide them to everyone. It isn’t a private business where you can just refuse service because you don’t like someone or their message.

              What if the postal worker thinks abortion is murder. Should they be allowed to refuse to deliver mail for Planned Parenthood or the ACLU?

              If a county clerk is opposed to homosexuality should they be allowed to refuse to issue a marriage license to a gay couple?
