So how about that town clerk?

Agree on the Public / Private. Being a public government employee the requirement to grant the license is stronger

So how do we square the circle and allow both people's rights and beliefs to be respected? One does not want their religious beliefs to be contradicted, one does not want their personal/ legal beliefs constrained. How do we let both sides win? Does it have to be zero sum?

I saw online something that is probably true : Would this get the coverage it is getting if it was a Muslim Clerk fighting to not give a license. Two PC protected classes duking it out. Add a third if the worker is a Union Member.
