Gov. Abbott (R) of Texas is using his power as governor, to try and block the marriages of LGBT members; State employees need to do their job, and their role, if the person in question was an employee of a religious organization, instead of a state organization we would understand taking a religious view point here. By sending out permission to ignore the Supreme Court, to state employees he is essentially allowing his state employees to violate the fundamental rights of American Citizens. While we respect that every human being has a right to the freedom of religion, how many LGBT members that are Christians, which strongly believe that their religion and their God would allow them to marry. The state has no right to infringe upon their freedom of religion.
