Then as you said 'she can't work as a public servant'.

She has the option of putting aside her beliefs, she doesn't have to stop believing in them just put them aside, to do her job properly or not do the job in the first place.

What if it was the opposite. The government refuses same-sex marriage. You are a public servant and are asked to refuse certificates to same-sex couples which approach you.

How would you feel? Are your rights being violated? Your convictions definitely would be!!

See now what I mean? Progressivism seems to only be valid when it flows in the direction which progressivists want it to flow in.

That last statement was risable. It says more about you than anything else and none of it is good.   Progressivism isn't what Faux news tells you it is.

 

You do realize that that the exact situation you are describing has been happening up and down the country for the last 40 years right?   Where do you think the lawsuits came from? 

 

Also  Convictions <> rights .  Thats a false equivalence.
