From Gov. Steve Beshear of Kentucky, after the Supreme Court's decision in Obergefell v. Hodges:
In honor of all the "religious freedom" assholes.
One point to note on these various "religious freedom" bills that have already started making their appearance in anticipation of the Court's ruling: they are not about protecting the delicate sensibilities of cafeteria "Christians." They are about allowing those "Christians" to impose their beliefs on everyone else.
"Neither your oath nor the Supreme Court dictates what you must believe," Beshear said Friday in a letter. "But as elected officials, they do prescribe how we must act."

At last, a conservative governor of a conservative state tells the conservative appointed and/or elected government servants that they are bound by the terms of their public employment to do things they may not privately agree with. Would that certain others (looking at you, Gov. Abbott, and you, Gov. Jindal) had that much intelligence.
Actually, Beshear is a Democrat. Don't ask me how he got elected in a state that gave us the likes of Rand Paul, though.
