I could care less what Bible references say. Marraige should be between a man and a woman. If all you butt pluggers and crotch lickers want to be with somebody that thinks like you do then hang your classring around their neck to let the world know you're spoken for. But don't come to me passing yourself off as Mr & Mr or Mrs & Mrs whatever. Your lifestyle is not the norm so don't try justifying it with a piece of paper created by a law passed by a bunch of damn fools......She should have been offered another posistion that didn't require her to sign these papers. Her having to quit because she believes in something enough to stand up for those beliefs is something no one should have to suffer. New York should be ashamed of itself for passing this law and the way this woman was treated....And no I'm not going to waste my time replying to all the gays that will rip me regarding this post. Have at it and have fun.

Good.  One less homophobe working for the government. 

My applause to this woman for setting her belief in God before man's ignorance! First of all, I would like to state that I am not affiliated with any religious organization/church/cult, etc...it's just me and my bible...Regarding the comment about interracial marriage, I am sure this woman thinks nothing of it, since we all came from the same two people...this isn't an issue on "judging someone"...Marriage was an institution created by God himself...And yes, God is a jealous God, but my marriage license application never asked what religion I was...it doesn't matter if someone is married by the county clerk, their marriage is still considered a marriage in the eyes of God...Let's look at what the bible says about homosexuality: Rom. 1 :24-27 NIV ~ 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual ...impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 1 Tim 1:9-11 ~ 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me. And let's look at what God did to Sodom & Gomorrah:Jude 1:3-13~ 3 Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people. 4 For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about[b] long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord. 5 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord[c] at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not keep their positions of authority but abandoned their proper dwelling—these he has kept in darkness, bound with everlasting chains for judgment on the great Day. 7 In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire. 8 In the very same way, on the strength of their dreams these ungodly people pollute their own bodies, reject authority and heap abuse on celestial beings. 9 But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”[d] 10 Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them. 11 Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion. 12 These people are blemishes at your love feasts, eating with you without the slightest qualm—shepherds who feed only themselves. They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead. 13 They are wild waves of the sea, foaming up their shame; wandering stars, for whom blackest darkness has been reserved forever. also, for fun ~ read 1Cor. 6:9-11...Irregardless of a persons background, if a person abandons their "unclean practices", apply God's righteous standards to their life and exercises faith in his provision for forgiveness of sins through Jesus Christ, they then can enjoy having a clear standing before God...AFTER reforming, they are welcomed into the Christian congregation...  That all sounds pretty serious to me...Don't open your mouth about the bible if you don't know what it even says...Sodom & Gomorrah is just an example and God destroyed them...obviously, he doesn't approve homosexuality...it isn't inherited, it's a perversion...Again, I give kudos to this woman for standing her ground!
