Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee ® signed a bill Wednesday allowing public officials to refuse to perform same-sex marriages.
State lawmakers approved Tennessee House Bill 878 last week. The legislation states people “shall not be required to solemnize a marriage” if they refuse to doing so based on their “conscience or religious beliefs.” According to the Tennessee Legislature website, the governor signed the bill Wednesday.
Nah, see, when politicians pass laws like this and cost the state massive amounts of time and money fighting over it in court, fuck-all happens to them. When a random state employee decides on her own one day, “fuck them queers” and acts on it, she gets consequences. Or at least, she used to. Goddess knows what to expect here going forward.
