Am I the only one that sees a problem with "religious liberty" being interpreted in this fashion? Hell, even if you're against gay marriage this sets a rather horrifying precedent. Let's take away the single issue nature of this proposal and turn this around for a moment:
Suppose the Kansas Department of Agriculture unknowingly hires someone who is a vegetarian for religious reasons, who refuses to participate in anything pertaining to meat -- even though that happens to be a major part of their job (let's say it means they can't do ANY part of the specific job -- which is actually quite possible).
This sort legislation -- if not targeted at a very specific issue -- would prevent removing that person from such a post.
Seriously, I am thoroughly embarrassed to be living here.
