You've been fortunate, most of your life, that as a member of the local-majority religion, you've had a religious notion of marriage that matched the legal one pretty closely. Now that they don't match, you perceive a conflict between your job and your faith.


I always wonder why they do not realize, these Christians, that if they were a minority, the First Amendment would protect them from being persecuted. They don't get that one day they could be the ones. The protection of other religions now would protect them then. Guess they simply don't believe it is possible.
