Intolerance

 As you may have noticed, the North Carolina state senate and house of delegates, largely composed of reptilian dodos, recently overrode their own Republican governor's veto and passed a bill allowing public officials to stop performing weddings to which they had "any sincerely held religious objection."  This was a dim-witted attempt to block or stigmatize same-sex marriages. The legislative argument was that it is bigoted to limit a public official's religious bigotry.

Never mind that a bigoted public official is paid to serve every citizen and sworn to uphold the Constitution. In return he or she feeds copiously from the public trough. Now, in North Carolina, if it is his religious conviction that people with dark skin should not marry people with lighter skin or that Jews should not marry Gentiles, he can send couples away, while waving the American flag.
