I think I understand why blueash changed the article from gay marriage officials to sharia law issues. Would the responses have been as vehement if the original article had been quoted properly? Probably not. By making it a Muslim religious issue, the replies took on a life of their own. The fact that it is based on a Judeo-Christian belief makes it much more palatable, doesn't it? Both are based on religious beliefs. Both are flouting a law. An individual who refuses to marry a gay couple because of religious belief is shirking their job duties as much as someone who refuses to handle pork. Both should find new jobs.
