My comment will basically mirror those from the original post about her. She is entitled to her beliefs, absolutely, but she can’t refuse to do her job as a gov’t. worker because of them. If she is so opposed, take another job.

I’m delighted she’s been punished. She is clearly an ignorant bigot and deserves all the punishment she gets.
If someone said they wouldn’t perform interracial or all-black marriages, would there be any tolerance for it at all? Of course not.

Yeah she’s entitled to her backward thinking much the same a tax paying citizen is entitled to marrying whomever they want. So there, Ms Ladele!!

I hope a house falls on her.

She’s lucky she still has a job. Pharmacists who won’t dispense meds, doctors who won’t treat, landlords who won’t rent, they all need to be severely punished because they literally put people’s lives in jeopardy. If they can’t do their jobs, they should get out of the business.

I guess the point of her grabbing the attention of the media is to make people sympathize with someone’s religious beliefs causing them to be discriminated against? But religious beliefs aren’t relevant at government agencies. She has the option of finding a new job and good for her bosses for not attempting to accomodate her. It’s time that people are as outraged and unaccepting of homophobia as they are racism and anti-semetism.
