If you want true equality this is what should have happened - If that couple had went to Miss Davis seeking a marriage license and she declined, she should have kept her job and they should have gone to another licencor to seek what they need. That's the fairest way to deal with it plain and simple.

No, because if you can't or won't perform your duties, then there are people more suited for your position.
What's more fair is having a person more suited for the job, rather than that person remaining unemployed right now while Miss Davis refuses to perform part of her duties. This is not a diner down in Alabama with a "we reserve the right to refuse service" sign. This is a goverment official position where you carry out lawfully issued orders. There's no room for discrimination in the law. It's applied equally for all citizens.
So this is not a job suited for her. If I had an employee that chose when they wanted to carry out their duties and when they didn't, I would fire them and hire someone more effective. And it's especially bad when someone choses what laws they want to follow.

It's ironic that the US is trying to be politically correct now yet in that 'political correctness'
that we're striving toward people like me (white, straight, lower middle class, no government aid) have rapidly become the new targets of objectification while all SORTS of fucked up stuff is happening on other levels that are completely being blown out of proportion;

Yeah, we have it really bad, don't we.


There's so many moral examples of contradiction I could give you right now that it wouldn't even be fair.  

So let's say the American government/military declares martial law while we begin slaughtering other countries; We, the people of this great country decide we aren't having it. You'll have two factions in our own military - the ones who do not bat an eye while they have a gun pointed to your head because they're doing their job, and you have the defectors who morally know that they signed up to protect you, not harm you.  By your logic the latter should never have signed up. The error in this way of thinking being that without this kind of balance, the tyranny of such a scenario is brought full circle.

Equality means she is allowed to keep her job and keep her belief.  Equality also means that those two dudes can get married. Perhaps they knew she would deny them? Perhaps they wanted to stir the pot? In our current climate, if I were attracted to a man and were seeking a marriage license I'd probably do some background research on who I was going to for such a thing because not everyone is morally agreeable to such a thing.  

 

Oh and btw, if you can't see that America's going and has been going down the shitter then you're either ignorantly in bliss or willfully choosing to ignore reality.  And that thought is so much bigger than the pointless debates people have about gay marraige.  Way bigger than that.  I don't give a fuck who marries who, that's not a big deal to me. I think it's hypocritical that you can have feminist groups spouting hate against males, you can have gay groups spouting hate against anyone who tells them they don't like or agree with it, you can have religious groups spouting hate against religious groups, but people like me that point out flaws in these radical groups thinking get utterly SHITTED ON the moment they voice their opinion because it doesn't fit the agenda.

 

We are all discriminating against ourselves the moment we give ourselves certain labels.  We are intentionally being segregated and taught to think that way because a Nation that is divided cannot stand. She said no, go to someone else. That's where it started and that's where it should've ended. Now we have the fucking pope making comments on it because someone had to go and get butthurt and make a big deal over nothing.
