If that’s true, and Tennessee is such a bastion of equality and committed to equal access, why pass this law?

Tennessee has hillbilly laws. Why would people live there?

I love when people not affected by laws tell people that are affected by them to sit down and shut up.

Bless your heart!

You are right! Nobody wants to live here. It’s a hellhole and we are all seeking to move to DMV.

The law will protect Christian government workers who don’t want to sign marriage licenses for same sex couples.

Nobody is going to be refused, the workers will opt out in advance.

We have a good thing going down here though I know you don’t believe it.

We’ll handle this like the good neighbors we are; love and faith can both win.

Have a beautiful day.

This is America which was founded on separation of church and state. Your job is your job, and your job comes first. If you work for the state and your religion somehow precludes you from doing your job then you should not be in that position.

And by the way, it has little to do with "being Christian" as there is virtually nothing in the New Testament about homosexuality or gay marriage, certainly nothing is in the Gospels or actual teachings of Christ. Where it's found is in the Old Testament, but as we know, Christians don't actually follow the Old Testament. You cut the hair from your temples, you do not sacrifice bulls or follow Kosher laws. It's basically bigotry that uses false Christianity as cover for bigotry.

Ok if you aren’t familiar with the New Testament, you can use the google search engine to seek results for say, New Testament and homosexuality. That way, you can skip ahead to the parts that interest you.

It is true that Memphis is dangerous. Whoever, it’s more part of the delta than Tennessee really. I hope we can make Memphis safer soon.

It will equally protect racist government workers who do not want to sign marriage license for interracial couples. Even if I agreed the first group needs protection, the idea of passing a law to protect the second group is disgusting.

It was written this way to survive legal challenge. Nobody is denying a license to a mixed hetero couple- ZERO - not happening.

How can you be so certain? How does it protect Christian government workers and why do they need protection? They need protection to impose their sect’s religious doctrine on others through the use of the state? Is there test administrated by the state to determine if these workers meet the definition of being a Christian- attend church, pass a test administer by the state, live by all the tenants of the Christianity, etc?

But it would be legal for it to happen. That’s a real problem. That’s a really strong statement to make to mixed couples in a diverse state— it’s completely legal to discriminate against you.
