I don't necessarily agree with every aspect of the policy. And to the best of my knowledge, it currently reads health care only. I think before we could apply it to marriage commissioners, we would have to open up the licensing. (currently capped) Regardless, no one else would be denied any rights.
This is the card always pulled out to label the party (and members) as "radical right", "redneck" "ultra conservative", etc., etc. Yet the vast majority of members don't fall into any of those labels.
I've even been called racist on Twitter and I'm sick of it. And it's F'ing ironic since I have a child who is part Native.
I one of my kids is part of the LGBT community and they don't feel one bit threatened by conscience rights. They respect and would protect the rights of others, just as they expect the same to apply to them.
