No, they want to allow some municipal clerks to deny marriage certs on their personal religious grounds. This is utter bullshit. Some municipal clerks personal religious ideals should not have a single bearing on doing their job. I don't want a Muslim clerk denying a permit for a "Draw the Prophet" event. I don't want a deeply religious person to deny some permit for events that fall,on their day of sabbath. Government employees religious convictions need to stay at home. Imagine a, Quaker at DPS who refuses to issue CHL's because of their religious views. I don't want to live in anybody's religious state,even if it is mine.
