Just a little more equal than others, we suppose Pt. II

After the County of San Diego bent over backwards to accommodate the influx of people seeking gay marriages on Tuesday, they do not appear to be quite as flexible with their own employees who, for religious purposes, have refused to perform gay wedding ceremonies.

County Clerk, Greg Smith, reneged on his previous word when he told employees they would not have to perform these ceremonies if they objected on religious grounds. Turns out, the volume of people seeking gay marriage licenses trumped any one person’s religious beliefs as the clerks were told they would have to perform the ceremonies or seek reassignment within the office or elsewhere in the county.

No agenda or politics here…. Please move along.
