Yeah, she should have just issued the marriage licence like she was supposed to rather than getting butthurt over the fact other people don't share her discriminatory beliefs.

That's not a fact, that's an opinion. A fact would be that there are others who DO share her discriminary beliefs so the idea she said 'no' is not that surprising, especially given the region. How do you feel about her jail time?

How is it not a fact? People criticised her, no? Therefore it is a fact that not all people think the same way she does.
As for her jail time? I think she should have been fired for it, but apparently that wasn't possible since she was elected, so if that's the only option they had then it is better than doing nothing.

I know my quote tree got cut off and part of what you had said wasn't visible but you said it was a fact that no one else shared her point of view. I stated that it WAS a fact that there were others in this country, in this continent and in this world that do share her views. Yes of course there are plenty of people that disagree with her point of view as well, such as yourself.
Honestly though this isn't as simple a scenario as some of you make it out to be. I'm looking at this from different angles and what she did might clash with her role in the government, but I think that jail time for the ordeal is overboard. Both sides did not handle this maturely after the initial point of conflict.
And again, there are other examples where someone disobeying their orders can save lives. There are other examples where an employer asks someone to do something that while technicially in their job title, is dangerous, morally wrong, damaging or polluting. In this case, no, but to just brush off the fact that she stood up for what she believed in in the same way the couple stood up for what they believed in is not taking all things into consideration.
