In a case of domestic abuse a police officer can refuse to act. But they have to call out another officer that will handle the issue. What happens then? What happens if someone gets seriously harmed because the police won't act?

Not to mention the law is in direct violation of the Kansas state constitution.

If homosexual are paying taxes that support these government functions, and protections, and government employee salaries, shouldn't they be treated like any other taxpayer?
Should gays get to decide which employees they will not pay for and get a tax deduction?
Why do you want to trample on their religious rights? Ain't yall all for "rights" respect others!

If you are a government employee, you serve the citizens of the state. ALL the citizens.

The bills also say clergy and businesses could not be sued or charged with crimes if they refused to take part in gay marriages.

Ones religious rights do not trump others rights. Ones religions is just that, ones religion. Government employees work for the government and their religion is back seat, it is not part of their job.

Religious rights are guaranteed in the constitution we all knew this is what would happen once homosexuals were given the right to "marry" forcing others to bend to their will instead of finding people that agree to with their views.

What what WHAT???? Do you really think you'll be "forced" to participate in a gay marriage?

If you get an invitation in the mail, just throw it away. See? Problem solved!

The Denver bakery was perfectly willing to sell a cake for a DOG wedding. So much for their devout 'religious' beliefs.
