We cats were pleased to see two separate decisions in the last couple of days that gave "religious freedom" people the legal bitch-slaps they deserve.
In Colorado, the court of appeals ruled against a baker who wanted the right to refuse service to a same-sex couple looking to buy a wedding cake. And a federal judge in Kentucky ordered a county clerk to issue marriage licenses to everyone in Rowan County, regardless of sexual orientation.
We don't know whether the baker has hung up his mixing spoon yet, or if he'll just try to make cakes and cookies without dwelling on the sex lives of the customers who buy them. But although the idiot Kentucky county clerk didn't show up for work today, her staff sent two gay couples away license-less, in flagrant violation of the law.
We cats hope that sooner or later, everyone will figure out that civil marriage licenses have nothing to do with religion, and that it is un-American for anyone who sells a product or service to deny groups of people access to that product or service. And then we can all go back to what we were doing before, and the world will keep spinning.
But in the meantime, those people in the Rowan County clerk's office should be hauled off to the hoosegow. Nothing less. We cats SNARL.
