What persecution?! There's no persecution!

Wanna bet they lose their job? Wanna bet some, evn here, will justify it?

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis shut her blinds at work Tuesday to block the view of rainbow-clad protesters outside. They carried flowers and flags and signs saying "you don't own marriage." They chanted "do your job."

Moments later, she told a lesbian couple who walked in asking for a license to try another county. Davis is among a handful of public officials across the Bible Belt so repulsed by the thought of enabling a same-sex marriage that they are defying the U.S. Supreme Court and refusing to issue a license to anyone, gay or straight.

Yes, many will lose their jobs.  No question about it.

The slippery slope has just been greased by the SCOTUS!

Oh,  i can definitely see heads rolling on this one.  not so much the clergy though as i mentioned in another post.  The primary job of a pastor is to preach the word of God.  All the other stuff is to his discretion or according to the bylaws of the church.  A minister does not have to marry anybody, of any flavor.  But he has to be nondiscriminatory to be able to keep his tax exempt status.

I minister should be able to follow the biblical teachings without losing the tax exempt status.  Marrying homosexuals is a direct violation of Scripture.  He should also be able to teach the congregation the biblical texts on ALL social issues of our day.  Once that is breeched, the church will be forced underground as it was for decades in China.

That's been happening for awhile now, but I suspect the left is going to step up their program, just like they did with the gay marriage thing.

How do you figure?
Are you saying we think they should be fired for standing against an unconstitutional move by SCOTUS?

Not "we."  Just some.

I'm certain you'll be hard-pressed to find one.

Hope you're right, but "some" have been defending the ruling.

OUCH, really? I've been gone for several days, so I'll take your word for it.
It's purely indefensible, Hell, it was unconstitutional.
I expect a major backlash from the majority of the nation over this within the month.
